아르본 최고의 사이클링 경로

성 갈렌의 종교 개혁가, 시장, 의사 및 역사가인 요아힘 폰 바트(Joachim von Watt)(바디안이라고도 함)는 성 갈렌에서 실물보다 큰 기념비로 존경받는 유일한 인물입니다. 1904년부터 1484년부터 1551년까지 살았던 종교 개혁가의 기념비적인 3.75미터 높이의 청동 동상이 이곳에 서 있습니다. 조각가 리하르트 키슬링이 제작했습니다. 이전에는 1877년에 철거된 구 시청이 이곳에 있었습니다.

구시가지에서는 18세기와 19세기에 전 세계를 여행한 상트갈렌 섬유 상인들의 여행을 증명하는 정교하게 장식된 오리엘 창문이 눈에 띕니다. 이 창문들은 상트갈렌이 캔버스와 자수 산업에서 얼마나 중요한 위치를 차지했는지 상기시켜 줍니다. 구시가지에는 100개 이상의 오리엘 창문이 있습니다. 이 창문들은 부분적으로 여러 층으로 되어 있고, 채색되어 있거나 나무로 조각되어 있습니다.

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.
