BEER, Johann Michael
(b. 1700 Bezau, d. 1767 Bezau)
Austrian architect, part of a family of architects active mostly in south Germany and Switzerland. He was the son of Franz Beer.
Johan Michael was responsible for the handsome twin-towered façade (and probably the choir) of the former Benedictine Abbey Church (now Cathedral) at St Gallen in Switzerland (1760s), together with his nephew Johann Ferdinand Beer (1731-1789).
