The Abbey - The Abbey Library of St. Gallen is the oldest library in Switzerland, and it is one of the earliest and most important monastic libraries in the world. It also boasts of the most beautiful rococo room in Switzerland containing a world-class collection of ancient books and manuscripts. Frescoes produced by Josef Wannemacher, stuccowork, and elaborate wood carvings adorn the walls and ceilings of the Abbey lending it a Sistine Chapel'esque' charm. As a result, the Abbey Library and the entire abbey precinct in St. Gallen past the Church of St. Lawrence with it's 'Rainbow Roof' were included in the UNESCO list of global cultural heritage sites.
Appenzellerland - Appenzell has gentle rolling hills extending up to the imposing Alpstein massif and is dotted with many touristic attractions which never fail to fascinate the tourists.

The cultural and historical museum in Appenzell and the Folklore Museum are very interesting too.
