ウンターエッゲンのおすすめツーリングルート

1983年以来、ザンクト・ガレン修道院教会と大聖堂（正式には聖ガルスとオトマルの修道院教会）と修道院地区全体がユネスコ世界遺産の一部となっています。1755年から1766年の間に建てられたベネディクト会修道院の教会のバロック様式の新しい建物は、聖ガルスが埋葬されていると言われる場所に立っています。720年から、オトマール修道院長が地下室周辺の建設活動を組織し、彼の後継者であるゴツベルトは820年から修道院教会の新しい建物を建設しました。現在の形での修道院教会の建設（後期バロックの最後の記念碑的な宗教建築の1つです）は、ガブリエル・ローザーとヨハン・カスパー・バニャートによって計画されました。2つの68メートルの高さの塔は、ザンクト・ガレンの旧市街を見下ろしています。

Beautiful place, very quiet

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.

A quick drink or something to eat. Highly recommended, great view and comfortable chairs.

The journey from St. Gallen to Stein is a very beautiful route, away from traffic - and although the village of Stein is tiny, the old houses in the village center around the church are well worth seeing.

Ideal for parking

I think it's a shame that everyone is only focusing on the beautiful bathhouse. The lakeside promenade has so much more to offer. Unfortunately, I forgot to photograph it, otherwise I would have liked to post a few pictures. Now, take this as an incentive and take some nice pictures of the promenade.
