After his death a small church was erected which developed into the Abbey of St. Gall, the nucleus of the Canton of St. Gallen in eastern Switzerland the first abbot of which was Saint Otmar.
The "Abbey of St. Gall", (not from the name of its founder and first abbot, but of the saint who had lived in this place and whose relics were honoured there) the monastery and especially its celebrated scriptorium played an illustrious part in Catholic and intellectual history until it was secularized in 1798,
Gall delivered Fridiburga from the demon by which she was possessed; she was the betrothed of Sigebert II, King of the Franks, who granted to the saint an estate near Arbon, which belonged to the royal treasury, that he might found a monastery there.
