This Stone is builded in a corner of the "Galluskapelle" in Arbon and it contains a foot-imprint of the Saint Gallus.

"Zahlreiche Legenden umranken das Leben und Wirken des Heiligen Gallus. Von wundersamen Krankenheilungen ist die Rede, vom Kampf mit dem Bösen, vom Zusammenleben mit den Tieren der Wildnis.

Der steinerne Fussabdruck beim Eingang erinnert an die Volksfrömmigkeit früherer Zeiten."

PS: I noticed a error in the description above: The county is not Tessin; its Thurgau.
