Abbey Library of Saint Gall, Switzerland 🇨🇭 - one of the oldest collections in Europe, but also possibly the most beautiful.....

According to the Abbey of Saint Gall’s website (Abtei St. Gallen in German), the earliest evidence of a library collection on the site dates back to around 820 AD (many of its 160,000 priceless texts are nearly that old), in plans that show a library attached to the main church.

On display are 8th Century AD, bill of sale for the abbey property; a Gospel of John 800 AD; Changing exhibitions show handwritten and illuminated texts, including Bibles, liturgical works, prayer books and biographies of saints from as early as 8th-9th Century AD; and works depicting the daily lives of resident monks, which provide insight into abbey life from 9th Century AD, through the Middle Ages. Some early works are written in Irish, evidence of the monastery's Irish roots (hence the name, "St. Gall"). The elaborate, rococo library was constructed between 1758-1767 AD, and is worth admiration in its own right, with its magnificent burnished woodwork, undulating balconies and ceiling frescoes.

The Abbey is said to have followed the Rule of St. Benedict, a portion of which prescribes the study of literature, should a library be available, so it is no wonder that the abbey itself would have been built with one. As the abbey grew over the years, so did its library, and soon the site became known for its collection of illuminated manuscripts and writings, as well as a leading center for science and Western culture around 10th Century AD. In mid-18th Century AD, the world-renowned collection was moved to a new library space which was lavishly decorated in a Baroque rococo style. Elaborate artworks were installed in the ceiling which was framed by flowing, curved moldings, giving the space a timeless and fantastical aspect.

The wooden balconies are shaped into flowering shapes and designs. Oh, and the books from the historic collection are also on display if you can look past their surroundings to pay attention to them. Today the library at St. Gall is still considered nearly unrivaled in its beauty. It also now holds one of the more important collections in the world, covering 12 centuries of non-stop collecting. The collection even includes the first example of an architectural plan on parchment. But take your nose out of that book and revel in one of the most stunning libraries ever.
