St. Gallen Cathedral, Abbey cathedral in St. Gallen, Switzerland
The cathedral features a symmetrical structure with dual 68-meter towers and a central rotunda decorated in Rococo architectural elements.
Construction of the current building started in 1756 under architects Gabriel Loser, Johann Caspar Bagnato, and Peter Thumb, replacing a ninth-century church.
The cathedral serves as the religious center of St. Gallen diocese while maintaining its connection to the Benedictine monastery complex.
The cathedral opens daily for visitors and offers guided tours through its baroque interior, twin towers, and ceremonial spaces.
Four monumental statues mark the northern entrance, while the ceiling displays Antonio Moretto paintings added during the 1824 renovation.
