Campus Galli - Karolingische Klosterstadt Meßkirch

Campus Galli demonstrates the construction of a medieval monastery using tools, materials, and techniques that were available during the Carolingian period in the 9th century.

The construction project follows the architectural plans of Saint Gall Abbey from 830 AD, which represents a detailed blueprint of medieval monastic life and architecture.

Craftsmen work daily at different stations demonstrating traditional skills like weaving, pottery making, blacksmithing, and wood carving using period-accurate methods.

The museum operates from March through November, with guided tours available in German and English, and includes facilities for disabled visitors.

The construction site spans 20 acres where workers extract and process raw materials directly from the land to build the medieval structures.
