Gastronomy / Canteen
Pupils eat breakfast, lunch and dinner every day in the refectory of the Benedictine monastery in Engelberg. The large guest hall, which used to serve as a meeting place and courtroom for the Engelberg valley community, is now used to cater for guests of the monastery. In our kitchen, we use regional and fair-trade products and seasonal vegetables from our own monastery garden. The bread is sourced from the monastery’s own bakery.
Housekeeping
At first glance, it may seem surprising how the housekeeping team always manages to juggle its many tasks. But if you put your heart and soul into a task, no hurdle is too high. The motto “There's no such thing as impossible” is consistently put into practice here. The specialists in the housekeeping team responsible for the monastery grounds, the Abbey School and the guest facilities are responsible for cleaning and technical support of the facilities, maintenance, environmental and general work as well as snow clearing.
Renovation team
The small, well-coordinated team of our renovation team has a wealth of experience in the application of traditional techniques and recipes and in the execution of contemporary architecture. Our in-house specialists carry out plastering, painting, renovation and general restoration work on old and new buildings as well as historic buildings.
Gate
The monastery gate is the gateway to the Benedictine monastery of Engelberg. It is also the hub for events within the monastery walls.
