St. Gall Abbey - St. Gallen Abbey

Japanese: ザンクト・ガレン修道院 - ザンクトガレンしゅうどういん
St. Gall Abbey - St. Gallen Abbey
It began as a monastery built in 613 in the Swiss mountains (present-day St. Gallen) by Gallus (?-627), who accompanied the Irish missionary Columbanus. In 720, the Alamanni Otmar (c. 689-759) established it as a monastery, which soon converted to the Benedictine Order. In 759 it became subordinate to the Bishopric of Constance, but in 816 it gained independence when the king granted it the privilege of inmunitation, and it became an imperial monastery. Construction of the monastery's facilities began around this time, and the monastery plan, which was used as a reference during this construction and is still preserved in the monastery's library, is thought to have been created and sent by the nearby Reichenau Monastery, and conveys an ideal image of medieval monastic architecture (see the entry on Monastery: Monastic Architecture).

アイルランド出身の伝道者コルンバヌスに同行したガルスGallus(?‐627)が,613年スイス山中(現,ザンクト・ガレンの地)に建設した僧房に始まる。720年アラマン人オトマールOtmar(689ころ‐759)がこれを修道院として確立し,まもなくベネディクト会に転換した。759年コンスタンツ司教権に従属するが,816年国王よりインムニテート特権を与えられて自立し,帝国修道院となった。このころから修道院諸施設の建築が始まるが,その際に参考とされ,現在も同修道院図書館に保存されている〈修道院平面図〉は,近隣のライヘナウ修道院が作成して送ってきたものと思われ,中世修道院建築の理想像を伝えている(〈修道院〉の項[修道院建築]を参照)。
