Christ Church St. Gallen

The Christ Church St. Gallen is the church of the Christian Catholic parish of St. Gallen . It was built in 1889 by the South Tyrolean architect Pietro Delugan as a “concert house on the Rosenberg” and is a brick building in the Florentine villa style. In 1895 it became the property of the Christian Catholic parish, which it has since served as a place of worship, community center and parsonage. Until 1895 the parish had the right to host the Protestant Reformed Church of St. Mangen.
