🏰 In the heart of Switzerland, in the cozy corner of St. Gallen, lies a true medieval treasure - an ancient library founded in the 8th century. 📚 Among walls adorned with vivid frescoes and intricately carved shelves, a collection of manuscripts that have withstood the centuries is preserved: from ancient Greek philosophical works to religious texts. 📖

Interesting fact: The library is home to over 160,000 manuscripts, including the famous "Plan of St. Gall", a 9th-century architectural drawing that is one of the oldest and most detailed plans of a medieval monastery. 🏯
