UNESCO-Welterbetag im Stiftsbezirk
Overview
Intro
Every second weekend in June, the World Heritage Sites in Switzerland open their doors and invite visitors to discover the unknown, the unique and the extraordinary.
UNESCO World Heritage Day provides a glimpse behind the scenes of World Heritage and brings World Heritage sites to life.
This year we are going on a journey back in time to the Middle Ages.
We will be visited by craftsmen and women from Campus Galli in Messkirch (www.campus-galli.de), who will demonstrate on site how work was carried out on a construction site in the Middle Ages. A wood sculptor will be carving the Gallus relief and Gregorian chants will transport you into a medieval world of sound. In the paint kitchen, visitors are shown how paints were made in the past; they can mix and paint for themselves. A writing workshop with reed pen and ink teaches how medieval uncial script was written and opens up a new perspective on the art of medieval writing. During a lecture on the oldest surviving architectural drawing in Central Europe, the St. Gallen monastery plan, or on a guided tour of life in medieval St. Gallen, visitors can delve even deeper into the Middle Ages.
