The exhibition «The Miracle of Tradition – The Plan of St Gall and Europe in the Early Middle Ages» focuses on the unique abundance of early medieval documents in St Gall. Of particular interest are the legal documents preserved in the St Gall Abbey Archive. These include two confraternity books and the only profession book from the Carolingian period still preserved. Temporary exhibitions of thematically selected documents provide insights into everyday life in the Early Middle Ages.

In a separate room the famous St Gall Abbey Plan is given pride of place. This plan is considered to be the most important architectural drawing of the Middle Ages. After an introductory multivision display, the plan can be viewed in its original form for a few seconds. For conservation reasons, the valuable document must be protected against overexposure to light.

By the way: In Messkirch (DE) they build a medieval monastery according to this Plan called «Campus Galli».


Ausstellungssaal

Im Ausstellungssaal werden diverse Schätze des Stiftsarchivs präsentiert. Ausserdem kann man sich hier das Original des St. Galler Klosterplanes aus dem 9. Jahrhundert ansehen. Es ist die früheste Darstellung eines Klosterbezirks aus dem Mittelalter und zeigt die ideale Gestaltung einer Klosteranlage. Nach einem Video kann das Original für 20 Sekunden betrachtet werden. Das wertvolle Dokument muss vor zu starker Lichteinstrahlung geschützt werden.
