On the second floor of the former administrative building of the Kappel Monastery in Zug’s Old Town, you will find a Late Gothic room with mullioned windows and a ceiling adorned with wooden beams, which was renovated in accordance with designs by Dagobert Keiser und Joseph Regl in the Neo-Gothic styles in 1903/04.
The famous Swiss stove builder Josef Anton Keiser from Zug (1859–1923) created the green-glazed ceramic tower-stove with an octagonal, crenellated attachment.
What is so special about this tiled stove is the combination of two style epochs. The Gothic model for this stove, are the rose petal tiles adorning the tower-stove in the Citadel of Meran. The tower attachment however is modeled on the examples of the Baroque stoves of the Pfau workshops in Winterthur. Aside from the main tile with the Zug emblem with the lion, Josef Anton Keiser presented on seven tiles the castles and landscapes of the Canton of Zug in epigrams. The tiled stove is the guild room's centerpiece, in which Stefan Meier celebrates his outstanding talents as a chef.
Open: Tuesday to Saturday.
