In the Abbey Library, one of the oldest libraries in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the members of the Federal Council and the Federal Chancellor were shown some of the oldest music manuscripts in the world dating back to the 10th century, as announced by the Federal Chancellery (FC) on Friday.
Following the visit to the Abbey Library, the Federal Government met with the authorities of the canton and city of St. Gallen, it added. They met with the population for an aperitif on the abbey square. The day before, the traditional aperitif, which is customary during Federal Council trips, took place in Rapperswil-Jona.
