Description


Abbey library of Saint Gall

The Abbey Library of Saint Gall (German: Stiftsbibliothek) was founded by Saint Othmar, the founder of the Abbey of St. Gall. During a fire in 937, the Abbey was destroyed, but the library remained intact. In 1983 the library together with the Abbey of St. Gall were made a World Heritage Site, as 'a perfect example of a great Carolingian monastery'.
