Intro
The museum shows the saffron culture from the hard work in the field to the culinary specialty.
A museum within a museum. The Zehndenstadel, dating from 1437, is one of the oldest wooden buildings in Switzerland. The museum shows the saffron culture from the hard work in the fields to the culinary speciality. Visitors learn more about the cultivation and harvesting of saffron as well as the tools used for this purpose.
Uniqueness of the Munder saffron culture
Munder is the only place in Switzerland where the precious spice of saffron is still planted today according to a centuries-old tradition. The precious "Crocus sativus" grows on an area of about 18'000 square meters on the beautiful and sunny high plateau. Behind every single saffron flower is a lot of patience and diligence.
Interesting facts about saffron
Between 30 and 1,000 flowers are harvested daily during the season in October and November. The precious spice is extracted from the pistils of their flowers. Every year, the Munder saffron guild produces between one and four kilos of saffron in painstaking manual labor. Now it is clear why everyone fusses about the "red gold" from Munder.
