Bow-windows St. Gallen Walk in Switzerland

Bow-windows St. Gallen An oriel window is a set of windows, arranged together in a bay, that protrudes from the face of a building on an upper floor and is braced underneath by a bracket or corbel. An Oriel window projects from the side of a building but doesn’t touch the ground and are supported by the wooden «L» shaped supporting brackets called «the corbels». In St. Gallen corbels have carved and painted facades. Most people call them «bay windows» when located on the first floor and «oriel windows» only if they are on an upper floor. Functionally, oriel windows not only increase the light and air entering a room, but also expand the floor space without changing the building’s foundation dimensions. Aesthetically, oriel windows became a landmark detail for Victorian-era architecture, although they are present in structures earlier than the 19th century. (Written by Jackie Craven,
