Intro
At Hofwelten, the history and stories of the Hof zu Wil come to life.
Over 800 years of history are embedded in the walls of the Hof zu Wil. It was the center of power for the Prince-Abbot of St. Gallen, a place where the Swiss Confederation set its course, a thriving brewery, and is now a historic monument of national significance. The Hof zu Wil has lived many lives.
In the “Hofwelten” interactive experience, history is not only observed but also felt, heard, and actively shaped. Visitors experience history within the building and in rooms that date back to the days of the Prince-Abbot.
The Hof zu Wil served as the secular administrative seat of the Prince-Abbey of St. Gallen, whose spiritual center—the St. Gallen Abbey District—is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
This interactive experience is new, immersive, and interactive, focusing on good, just, and responsible living and coexistence in the past—during the era of the Prince-Abbey of St. Gallen, one of the most powerful monastic states in Central Europe. Visitors are then invited to decide—equipped with media guides and headphones—how they envision a good, just, and responsible world in the future.
