【Switzerland】St. Gallen Abbey: Switzerland's most beautiful library and Baroque cathedral I A great place to visit in spring

#春好去处2024 St. Gallen in Switzerland is a city with a long history and unique culture. It was once an important religious center and is very suitable for visiting in spring. The most famous is the Abbey of St. Gall, which was listed as a World Cultural Heritage in 1983. The cathedral inside was built in the 18th century and its gorgeous decoration embodies the essence of Baroque style. As soon as you enter the cathedral, you will be struck by the gorgeous frescoes and exquisite carvings on the ceiling. When there is no mass, you can carefully appreciate these carefully designed decorations and feel the charm of religious art. Another attraction not to be missed is the library of the Abbey of St. Gall. This Rococo-style library, built in the 18th century, is known as one of the most beautiful libraries in Switzerland. The library houses more than 170,000 books, many of which are precious manuscripts with a long history. Being in it, it feels like being in a huge art palace, and everywhere you look are exquisite works of art. Most of the exhibits in the library are of historical value and need to be carefully maintained, so you must change into the shoes provided by the library before entering the library. When visiting, please pay attention to the instructions and do not touch the exhibits casually. During this visit, a mummy was on display in the library. Because it was very precious, taking photos was prohibited. #trip #Swisstravel #Switzerland #Overseastravel
