I was curious if anyone has visited the abbey library in St Gallen and, if so, any tips or impressions?
We will be nearby and could squeeze in a quick afternoon stop. As a bibliophile- I would love to visit this historic place and its collections.

The church and the library are very beautiful and if your there you should go inside. What I remember most was the sage green walls, the beautiful woodwork and putting big slippers over my shoes to not scratch the floors. I'm sure you will consider a "worthy" visit. J

You will not be disappointed. The collections are magnificent and the architecture of the library is outstanding. It was built in the early 1700's. It is well worth the time.
