Located at 1st floor, there is the storage room for bag deposit during visit. Need to use the big slipper before entry. Very nice and elegant library inside. Not large room. Entry fee is 18 CHF each for adult (a bit pricey) but if you have the St. Gallen tourist pass (1-day = 24 CHF), it’s more cheaper that you can enter other museums or attractions.

Just one room but totally worth the visit. Oldest library of Switzerland with lots of old books. You cannot touch the books as bookshelves are locked. There is also a real mummy with coffin on display. The interiors are stunning and you have to wear huge sandals over your shoes provided by them to protect the wooden floor of library. There are free lockers for luggage storage and entry here is free with Swiss Travel Pass.

Stunning library. Tickets are a little expensive but I think worth it. The exhibits about monastic music were very interesting. Also enjoyed the vault exhibit below the library.

Incredible place,incredible history. My only problem was the elder lady outside the library. Very rude and addressing visitors in an unprofessional way. "Hey,you,were slippers to go in. Don't take pictures with flash. Don't take pictures of the mummy. Understand?" That's not the way to talk to someone. Make sure to visit the library and the vaulted cellar.

Very beautiful Kloster. Enough parking space close by. Doesn’t cost anything. Very mesmerising to see.

Simply stunning, both inside and out. Stained glass, paintings, odd huge wardrobes and pulpit all fantastic. Outside lively peaceful gardens and outbuildings. Loved it. No charge, which i always like in a church

Awesome library and vault. Gem of St. Gallen. Ticket can be redeemed for free if you have Swiss Travel Pass.

I love this place. It's worth every penny :) This is the second time I have come here. I love all the woodwork on the walls and handrail, and 3d and paint details in the ceiling. I also love the old Earth globe. And all of it was hand made a loooooonh time ago! There is a mummy too. You can ask to get an audio guide. Each ticket is 18 francs. You'll be asked to leave all bags and backpacks in a locker (which is free). The ticket includes other stuff. There is a bathroom. There is a gift store with some nice stuff.
