Guided tour through the monastery gardens
‘Where spirituality and economy meet’
The monastery garden has taken on a new significance in our time as we search for our position within an increasingly technical civilisation. It is still a place of longing. The diversity of monastery gardens is fascinating, regardless of the extent to which they are historically characterised and whether they are more show gardens or kitchen gardens.
Discover the fascination of spiritual charm inside and outside the monastery with Brother Thomas Stingelin (monk at Engelberg Monastery), accompanied by Monika Amstad, head of the monastery garden centre. At four different locations, the monastic garden culture can also be experienced historically. Immerse yourself in the unique atmosphere of the monastery gardens and their diversity, even in the otherwise closed cloister area.
