Monastery
St. John's Abbey in the 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 4 October 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 24 October 1178 Pope Alexander III confirmed the abbey's extended possessions. In 1227/1228, the king became Vogt of the abbey.
