The city of St. Gallen is known for its many bay windows. In the old town alone there are over a hundred of these additions to houses. Since the Middle Ages, they have been used to enlarge the living space and to provide better lighting on the upper floors. The St. Gallen oriels are often very elaborately designed and decorated, because they should also represent the wealth of the citizens living there.[1]
