St. Gallen Essentials
St. Gallen is defined by its UNESCO World Heritage Abbey District, which houses a Baroque cathedral and one of the world’s oldest monastic libraries. The city’s medieval history is preserved through landmarks like the Karlstor, the only remaining gate of the original city walls, and the neo-Gothic St. Laurenzen church. On the surrounding hills, the Wildpark Peter und Paul provides a natural habitat for Alpine wildlife, while the Broderbrunnen stands as a monument to the city's 19th-century infrastructure.
