Campus Galli and its collection

Campus Galli
Source

Campus Galli is a unique project located in Meßkirch, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. It is a Carolingian monastic community that is currently under construction. The project aims to build a medieval monastery according to the early ninth-century Plan of Saint Gall using techniques from that era. This makes it a living history site where visitors can witness the construction process and learn about the historical techniques used.

Visiting the Construction Site

The construction site of Campus Galli has been open to the public since June 2013. This allows visitors to observe the ongoing construction process, learn about the historical building techniques being used, and interact with the staff members who are working on the project. It's a unique opportunity to witness a piece of history being recreated.

Use of Raw Materials

One of the unique aspects of the Campus Galli project is that the major raw materials used in the construction, such as wood and stone, are obtained directly from the site. This not only adds to the authenticity of the project but also allows visitors to see how these materials are processed and used in the construction.
