A petition, \u201cStop, Pause to Reflect\u201d was begun on February 16th by the \u201cFriends of the Foundation Church of St. Gall.\u201d As of Friday, February 22nd, about 500 had signed the petition.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/praytellblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/St-Gall-21.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-17945\" title=\"St Gall 2\" src=\"https:\/\/praytellblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/St-Gall-21.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"279\" height=\"157\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Work on the renovation project began on May 21st. The new altar was to be solemnly consecrated this coming fall. Estimated cost is 1.65 million Swiss francs, about 1.77 million U.S. dollars.<\/p>\n<p>Adaptation for the new liturgical prescriptions resulting from the Second Vatican Council was never carried out in entirety, and the renovation was to improve upon a provisional solution. Moving the altar nearly in the middle under the cupola and placing a golden ring above it was the plan of the London architectural firm \u201cCaruso St. John Architects.\u201d (See the firm&#8217;s sketches <a href=\"http:\/\/www.carusostjohn.com\/projects\/st-gallen-cathederal-chancel\/\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/praytellblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/St-Gall-31.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-17946\" title=\"St Gall 3\" src=\"https:\/\/praytellblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/St-Gall-31.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"279\" height=\"157\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The golden ring has encountered opposition among the people, and also with the government office for historical landmarks. Niklaus Ledergerber, leader of that office, said that the ring intrudes upon the space. \u201cThis is contrary to a fundamental principle of historical landmarks, that intrusions should be kept to a minimum.\u201d Ledergerber does not believe that the ring is truly necessary in order to highlight the liturgical space.<\/p>\n<p>The petition expresses opposition to the \u201cconstruction of a new concrete altar with a floating gold ringlet, which is a foreign body under the cupola of the baroque Cathedral of St. Gall.\u201d The petition warns of an \u201cexpensive and risky experiment\u201d and calls for a pause for reflection to find a solution which \u201cfits harmonically with the interior of the church.\u201d The \u201cFriends of the Foundation\u201d say that they are open to anything which serves the general interest of the cathedral and its preservation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>UPDATE 2\/24:<\/strong> The administrative council of the canton of St. Gall <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kipa-apic.ch\/index.php?&amp;pw=&amp;na=0,0,0,0,d&amp;ki=240428\" target=\"_blank\">issued a statement Friday<\/a> pointing out that the golden ring is not part of the approved plan and will not be installed, at least initially, when the sanctuary is renovated. The statement says that the \u201cFriends of the Foundation Church of St. Gall\u201d argued with false data, and their expression \u201cconcrete altar area\u201d is a false accusation. The lower layer will be of poured concrete with terrazzo over it.<\/p>\n<p>The administration does not understand why opposition is being mobilized now, since the project was announced two years ago and approved \u201cwith overwhelming majority.\u201d Work on the project will begin May 21st. The London architectural firm \u201cCaruso St. John Architects\u201d has agreed for the plan to go forward without the ring, and so it is misleading to act as if the plan includes the ring.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Moving the altar nearly in the middle under the cupola and placing a golden ring above it was the plan of the London architectural firm \u201cCaruso St. John Architects.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":27,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[2373,1742,1196,2057,2025,389],"class_list":["post-17937","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-art-and-architecture","tag-caruso-st-john-architects","tag-church-renovation","tag-kipa","tag-liturgical-art","tag-st-gall","tag-switzerland"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Renovation of Famous Cathedral of St. Gall, Switzerland, Encounters Opposition - UPDATED 2-24 - Home<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/praytellblog.com\/index.php\/2013\/02\/22\/renovation-of-famous-cathedral-of-st-gall-switzerland-encounters-opposition\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Renovation of Famous Cathedral of St. Gall, Switzerland, Encounters Opposition - UPDATED 2-24 - Home\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Moving the altar nearly in the middle under the cupola and placing a golden ring above it was the plan of the London architectural firm \u201cCaruso St. John Architects.\u201d\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/praytellblog.com\/index.php\/2013\/02\/22\/renovation-of-famous-cathedral-of-st-gall-switzerland-encounters-opposition\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Home\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2013-02-22T16:23:34+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2013-06-03T19:41:04+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/praytellblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/St-Gall-11.jpg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Anthony Ruff, OSB\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Anthony Ruff, OSB\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/praytellblog.com\\\/index.php\\\/2013\\\/02\\\/22\\\/renovation-of-famous-cathedral-of-st-gall-switzerland-encounters-opposition\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/praytellblog.com\\\/index.php\\\/2013\\\/02\\\/22\\\/renovation-of-famous-cathedral-of-st-gall-switzerland-encounters-opposition\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Anthony Ruff, OSB\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/praytellblog.com\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/1f253be22c50796444dc3d93f75cb50a\"},\"headline\":\"Renovation of Famous Cathedral of St. Gall, Switzerland, Encounters Opposition &#8211;
