Culinarium Alpinum.
Enjoyment with alpine origins.
From Capuchin monastery to culinary pilgrimage site: the Culinarium Alpinum in Stans is a place of good taste with a monastery garden, Alpine wine cellar, restaurant, and an edible landscape with over 250 different types of herbs, fruits, and berries.
A monastery becomes a place of indulgence
Where Capuchin monks once ate their meals in silence, gourmets, producers, chefs, and guests with an appreciation for regional cuisine now gather. The Culinarium Alpinum is more than just a restaurant. It is a center for Alpine cuisine, nestled within venerable walls with a contemporary feel.
Edible surroundings
The edible landscape surrounding the house is particularly striking—or rather, fragrant. Over 250 varieties of herbs, berries, and fruits grow on the grounds, many of which have been almost forgotten. The diversity not only serves as a show garden, but also flows directly into the kitchen. This turns every plate into a little journey through the world of alpine flavors.
And what's more...
There is also the Alpsbrinzkeller, the wine shop with its exquisite selection, and the monastery shop, which offers an insight into the culinary diversity of Central Switzerland. Whether for a relaxed lunch, an inspiring food seminar, or a detour into the quiet history of the Capuchins, the Culinarium Alpinum is a destination that nourishes body and soul.
