This website presents digital versions of two of the gems surviving from the monasteries of Reichenau and St. Gall. One is the unique architectural drawing known as the Plan of St. Gall. The other is the extensive ninth-century library collections of the two monasteries, identifiable by their distinctive script. Both of these are complimented by various resources to assist in their study, providing further information about the material and intellectual contexts of Reichenau and St. Gall.
Located roughly twenty-five miles apart on what is now the border between Switzerland and Germany, the island monastery of Reichenau and the mountain valley monastery of St. Gall were members of a network of imperial monasteries stretching across the Carolingian empire in the eighth and ninth centuries. Their proximity led to numerous close ties between the two monasteries, which shared books, commemorative obligations, and even occasionally the same abbot.
