English Action in January 2010. Have Fun and Learn. Rose organized several activities for her students, one of those was:

The Swiss Gastronomy Museum and the Church of Scherzligen in Thun. 

Rose and four students met at 2.00 p.m. by the entrance of the castle Schadau.

A small spiral stair case, once the servant’s entrance, leads to the museum. The Swiss Gastronomy Museum has been located in the castle Schadau since 1988 and celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2008. It’s a real treasure which presents to the public old appliances, unique services and a selection of handwritten menu cards. In a little room is the original office of the famous Harry Schraemli.

The main part of the museum is the library of cooking books. It contains over 5000 books. From the smallest to the oldest, the most original to modern cooking.

After visiting the museum, Rose took us to the church of Scherzligen. The church of Scherzligen is one of the historical churches around the Lake Thun. The church walls are covered with old Christian paintings from the 13th to the 16th century.

To finish our cultural tour, Rose invited us to have coffee and cake.

It was a very interesting afternoon. Thank you very much, Rose.
