ギュプセン湖周辺のおすすめファミリーハイキング＆ウォーキング

コンサートホール「トーンハレ・ザンクト・ガレン」は1909年に開館し、それまでコンサートに使用されていたカントン校舎の小さくなりすぎた図書館ホールに代わって建てられました。トーンハレでは、ザンクト・ガレン交響楽団のコンサートが開催され、向かいの劇場にもオーケストラとして貢献しています。また、トーンハレではゲストコンサートや様々なイベントが開催されています。11年間オーケストラの第一ヴァイオリンを務めた建築家ユリウス・クンクラーの設計は、当時のコンサートホール建築に典型的なネオバロック様式とユーゲントシュティール様式の要素を融合させたものでした。その建築様式はコンサートホール建築としては画期的なもので、革新的な建築技師ロベルト・マイヤールによる鉄筋コンクリートの骨格が支持構造として使用され、外装は漆喰塗りのレンガで覆われていました。

Beautiful place, very quiet

A small covered wooden bridge – it stands almost directly under the very high SOB railway bridge and close to power plant buildings. As a result, it doesn't really stand out.

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.

Beautiful barbecue area, including restrooms and access to the lake. Swimming is permitted in this area.

Good information boards for background knowledge about the small reservoir.

Only about 200 meters wide, but over a kilometer long: these are the dimensions of the Gübsensee. The reservoir serves as a place of relaxation for the people of St. Gallen.
