Anno of Saint Gall (died 1 December 954) was anti-abbot to Craloh in the benedictine Abbey of Saint Gall.

Life

Anno is not attestable in documents before his election as anti-abbot. He began his tenure on 23 or 24 September 953, after which he is not mentioned in any documents again.

Works

According to Ekkehart IV, Anno began to fortify the abbey and the village of Saint Gall by building a wall, a moat, and towers. At the time of his death, the wall had reportedly reached knee-height.[1]
