Historic Churches of St. Gallen

St. Gallen's religious landscape is centered on the UNESCO-listed Abbey Cathedral, a masterpiece of Baroque architecture. This collection spans centuries of spiritual history, featuring the Neo-Gothic St. Laurenzen, the city's primary Reformed church, and the hilltop Capuchin monastery of Notkersegg. From historic pilgrimage sites like Heiligkreuz to 20th-century parish churches in the Winkeln and Straubenzell districts, these sites showcase the evolution of ecclesiastical design and the region's diverse denominational heritage.
