Intro

The tower of the St. Lawrence Church affords a beautiful view of the Old Town and the Abbey Precinct.

Besides the Cathedral, this is the city's most important church. The present building dates back to the 15th century, but it was entirely reconstructed from 1850 to 1854 and now is a basilica in neo-Gothic style. After climbing the tower, you will have a wonderful view over the roofs of St.Gallen.
