ザンクト・ガレンの福音改革派教会は、ローマの殉教者ラウレンティウスにちなんで名付けられました。この教会は何世紀にもわたってザンクト・ガレン市共和国の政治、宗教、社会の中心であり、街の歴史に大きな影響を与えてきました。この場所に最初の教会が建てられたのは、おそらく12世紀半ばのことです。現在のネオゴシック様式のザンクト・ローレンツェンは、1845年にヨハン・ゲオルク・ミュラーの設計に基づいて建てられました。

ザンクト・ガレンの宗教改革者、市長、医師、歴史家であるヨアヒム・フォン・ヴァット（通称ヴァディアン）は、ザンクト・ガレンで等身大の記念碑で称えられている唯一の人物です。1904年以来、1484年から1551年まで生きた宗教改革者の高さ3.75メートルの記念碑的な青銅像がこの場所に立っています。彫刻家のリヒャルト・キスリングが制作しました。以前は、1877年に取り壊された旧市庁舎がここにありました。

The Holy Cross Chapel on the main street was rebuilt after the devastating village fire of 1560. The stained-glass windows depicting the five mysteries of the Sorrowful Rosary were created by Ferdinand Gehr in 1964. Despite the sometimes large number of tourists, the chapel is a place of peace and contemplation. The stained-glass windows enchant the daylight, which falls golden into the Holy Cross Chapel. The installation of these, for their time, very modern stained-glass windows sparked much discussion in the Appenzell region and drew some criticism. Everyone is encouraged to come and experience the atmosphere of this small chapel for themselves.

There's hardly any view inside the forest...

Great steady climb - Komoot elevation has a section at 19% but it must be an error its very consistent.

Cathedral, St. Gallen Several earlier structures preceded the monumental church. Originally, the chapel of Saint Gallus stood on this site, where the saint was buried around 640. Later buildings incorporated Gallus's tomb. Around 720 (the founding of the monastery), a stone church was built. By the 9th century, the church had already reached its present length. In the 15th century, a new choir in the Gothic style was constructed. In 1756, the monks embarked on the final phase of the church's reconstruction, which was completed in 1766. The renowned architect Johann Kaspar Bagnato played a significant role in the design, while Johann Michael Beer oversaw the construction. The patrons were Abbots Cölestin Gugger von Staudach and Beda Angehrn. After the dissolution of the monastery, the church became a cathedral (bishop's church) in 1824. The church underwent interior renovations from 1961 to 1967 and exterior renovations from 2000 to 2003. The church has an elongated, rectangular floor plan. Within this plan, a rotunda (round structure) is inserted, resembling a transept. On the eastern end, the striking twin-tower facade rises as a dominant feature, the emblem of the Diocese, City, and Canton of St. Gallen. The facade's sculptural decoration includes figures of Saints Maurice and Desiderius and a relief depicting the Coronation of the Virgin Mary by the Holy Trinity. The interior of the church is a three-aisled, free-pillared structure with a central dome (rotunda). High-quality stucco work, vault paintings, altars, and the choir stalls are among the highlights of the interior. The concept of harmoniously coordinated art forms is the work of Christian Wentzinger, sculptor and painter.
