The Catholic Diocese of Saint Gallen (Latin: Diœcesis Sancti Galli) is a Latin Catholic diocese in St. Gallen, Switzerland. The diocese was created in 1824 but united with the episcopal see of Chur until 1847.[1] Much of the territory had earlier been part of the Diocese of Konstanz.
The St Gallen Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is the see of the diocese.
