Since 1983, the Collegiate Church and Cathedral of St. Gallen (actually Collegiate Church of St. Gallus and Otmar) and the entire Abbey District have been part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site. The baroque new building of the Benedictine monastery church, built between 1755 and 1766, stands where Saint Gallus is said to be buried. From 720 onwards, Abbot Otmar organised the construction work around the crypt, and his successor Gozbert began the construction of the new monastery church from 820 onwards. The construction of the Collegiate Church in its present form - it is one of the last monumental sacred buildings of the late Baroque period - was planned by Gabriel Loser and Johann Caspar Bagnato. Its two 68-metre-high towers tower above the old town of St. Gallen.

Cathedral, St. Gallen Several earlier structures preceded the monumental church. Originally, the chapel of Saint Gallus stood on this site, where the saint was buried around 640. Later buildings incorporated Gallus's tomb. Around 720 (the founding of the monastery), a stone church was built. By the 9th century, the church had already reached its present length. In the 15th century, a new choir in the Gothic style was constructed. In 1756, the monks embarked on the final phase of the church's reconstruction, which was completed in 1766. The renowned architect Johann Kaspar Bagnato played a significant role in the design, while Johann Michael Beer oversaw the construction. The patrons were Abbots Cölestin Gugger von Staudach and Beda Angehrn. After the dissolution of the monastery, the church became a cathedral (bishop's church) in 1824. The church underwent interior renovations from 1961 to 1967 and exterior renovations from 2000 to 2003. The church has an elongated, rectangular floor plan. Within this plan, a rotunda (round structure) is inserted, resembling a transept. On the eastern end, the striking twin-tower facade rises as a dominant feature, the emblem of the Diocese, City, and Canton of St. Gallen. The facade's sculptural decoration includes figures of Saints Maurice and Desiderius and a relief depicting the Coronation of the Virgin Mary by the Holy Trinity. The interior of the church is a three-aisled, free-pillared structure with a central dome (rotunda). High-quality stucco work, vault paintings, altars, and the choir stalls are among the highlights of the interior. The concept of harmoniously coordinated art forms is the work of Christian Wentzinger, sculptor and painter.
