St. Gallen Abbey Cathedral

Continued from October Visit


One of the pair of great towers.



A bronze model in the courtyard 



By the entry doors



The portal



Baroque to the max



All around the nave are these ornate confessional booths, each uniquely hand carved….



…with the apex depicting a saint or a story from the life of Christ.







Each pew end is also uniquely hand carved, similar but no two alike.



This is a giant cupboard at the rear of the nave. The insets in the inlayed wood are painted.



This is the “Covid Bible.” People could handwrite passages into it. 



You can sing this Bible story….


To be continued….
