St. Gallen Cathedral | Switzerland Photo Spot
Share this Page
The Cathedral of St. Gall, an imposing Baroque edifice, presents an unmatched opportunity to photograph both architectural and historical brilliance. Completed in the late 18th century, the cathedral, with its twin towers, intricate stucco work, and frescoed ceilings, epitomizes Baroque opulence. Not only is the cathedral’s exterior striking, but its lavishly decorated interior, with a blend of rococo and classical styles, also promises an impressive array of photographic subjects. The site is especially beautiful when the sunlight streams through the stained glass, casting a medley of vibrant colors onto the cathedral’s walls. Wide-angle shots can capture the cathedral’s grand scale, while detailed close-ups can highlight the intricate artistry. For the best exterior shots, visit during sunrise or sunset when the lighting adds a dramatic effect to the cathedral’s facade.
