Church of St. Lawrence

The Church of St. Lawrence exhibits pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and flying buttresses, characteristic elements of medieval ecclesiastical architecture from the period.

Originally constructed in the 12th century, the church underwent several modifications that reflected the architectural developments and spiritual needs of each era.

The interior contains stained glass windows depicting biblical scenes, alongside altars, sculptures, and religious artifacts that represent Swiss religious traditions.

The central location near transportation routes in downtown St. Gallen allows visitors to incorporate church visits with exploration of other city landmarks.

This Class A Swiss cultural property holds regular religious ceremonies while maintaining its status as a national heritage site open for public viewing.
