  • St. John's Abbey in the Thurtal (German: Kloster St. Johann im Thurtal) was a Benedictine monastery originally established in Alt St. Johann in the Canton of St. Gallen, Switzerland, in the mid-12th century. The oldest written record of it is dated October 4, 1152, when Pope Eugene III took the monastery into his protection. The pope confirmed the monastery's possessions and free election of its abbot and Vogt. On October 24, 1178, Pope Alexander III confirmed the abbey's extended possessions. In 1227/1228, the king became Vogt of the abbey. In December 1231, Emperor Frederick II issued a Golden Bull confirming his obligations as Vogt of the abbey. The abbey owned numerous estates in Toggenburg and in the Rhine valley: St. Johann, Stein, Nesslau, Kappel, St. Peterzell and Mogelsberg; and in Vorarlberg in Austria, near Feldkirch, in Klaus, Götzis and Altach. The abbey also frequently bought land in the territory which is now the principality of Liechtenstein, most notably the prominent Red House in Vaduz, which it purchased in 1525 from the heirs of the medieval owners, the Vaisli family. The abbey's high point was during the 14th century. It survived the Reformation, but lost its independence in 1555, when it became a priory of St. Gall's Abbey. In 1626 the buildings were severely damaged by fire, and the monks were afflicted by a mysterious illness and the community moved along the valley to a new location at Sidwald near Nesslau, since then known as Neu St. Johann. On the site of the old monastery a parish church was built, with a priest's house. The new monastery buildings in Nesslau, which were completed by 1680, were in a magnificent Rococo style. Toggenburg was an area of mixed denominations, and the priory was an instrument of the Counter-Reformation under the leadership of the Prince-Abbots of St. Gallen. The priory was dissolved in 1805. The former monastic church became the Roman Catholic parish church of the parish of . The remaining buildings now accommodate a remedial educational centre known as the Johanneum. (en)
  • De abdij Sankt Johann im Turital was een benedictijnerabdij in het Zwitserse kanton Sankt Gallen. De abdij Sankt Johann wordt voor het eerst vermeld in 1152. Het is daarmee het laatste in Zwitserland gestichte benedictijnerklooster. Het werd als pauselijk klooster gesticht in tegenstelling met de abdij van Sankt Gallen en de abdij Einsiedeln die keizerlijk georiënteerd waren. De voogdij over het klooster was afwisselend in handen van de heren van Ganterschwil en het graafschap Toggenburg. Onder de keizers Frederik II en Hendrik VII lag de voogdij bij het Heilige Roomse Rijk. Vervolgens kwam de voogdij aan de graven van Montfort-Werdenberg, in 1396 aan het huis Habsburg en daarna weer aan Toggenburg en hun opvolgers uit het huis Raron. Rond het klooster vormde zich als snel een dorp, later Alt Sankt Johann genoemd. In 1405 sloten de bewoners van het dal van Sankt Johann samen met andere gemeenten in het graafschap Toggenburg een bond met de stad Sankt Gallen en Appenzell. In 1468 kocht het abdijvorstendom Sankt Gallen het graafschap Toggenburg. Hierdoor kwam de abdij Sankt Johannonder de bescherming te staan van de abdij Sankt Gallen. In 1528 werd er veel vernield door een beeldenstorm en het klooster stond vervolgens tot 1532 leeg. Vanwege misstanden verloor de abdij uiteindelijk zijn zelfstandigheid en werd in 1555 ingelijfd bij de abdij Sankt Gallen. (nl)
