The Abbey Library of St Gallen is one of the oldest libraries still
surviving today. It can be traced back to the Irish missionary
Gall, who established the first community of monks in St Gallen in
612. As the 'healing-place of the soul', the library has a
collection that is unique in the world for its quality and
completeness, illustrates the part played by the monasteries in the
development of western culture and contains many treasures. Its
Baroque Hall is one of the most beautiful library spaces
imaginable. The library and its collection are listed by UNESCO as
a World Heritage Site and are included in its Memory of the World
Register. The members of the management team of the Abbey Library
present a personal choice of the most important items in the
library and a few other objects that are worth seeing.
