The main buildings in a monastic complex were arranged around a central courtyard with a garden or lawn in its centre and a covered walkway around its edge. This was the cloister, which was often square and usually connected to the south side of the monastery church (sometimes to the north).
The Chapter House (for daily meetings), the monk's dormitory and the library were situated on the east side of the cloister; the kitchen, refectory and warming room were to the south and the cellar (stores) were to the west, completely surrounding the cloister with buildings.
Outside this central range would be the guest house, Infirmary, fish ponds, gardens, beehives, orchards, barns, bakery, brewery, the abbot's lodging and various other buildings. The entire site would be surrounded by a high stone wall, with a gatehouse and a lodge for the gatekeeper.
The church of the monastery of St. Gall is a three‑aisled basilica, and it differs from its Early Christian prototypes in the following ways: a. The cloister (like the atrium) is on the side of the church rather than in front of its main portal. b. A second apse on the west end of the building. c. St. Gall had two towers framing the western end of the church, but standing apart from the façade, unlike many other Carolingian basilicas where the towers were integrated into the façade.
