Zum Franziskaner

On December 23, 1889, Mrs. Augusta Engelbrecht founded Zum Franziskaner, a classic eatery and brasserie, at Skeppsbron 44 in Stockholm's Old Town. Locals in Stockholm claim that the eatery is occasionally called "Zum" for short. Zum Franziskaner is one of the oldest restaurants in the world.

Skeppsbron opened "Zum Franziskaner" in a 17th-century home as a satellite of the eatery "Zur Himmelsleiter" in Stockholm. This location is identified by a Bierhalle (brasserie) sign and advertises that it serves "Authentic German Bier from Munich." The current residence was finished in 1910. Art Nouveau lamps and other pieces of furniture from 1910 have been saved in considerable quantities. The term "Zum Franziskaner" refers to a group of mendicant monks who followed the pious guidelines of the Franciscan order of Assisi and belonged to the German Franciscan order.

The Zum Franziskaner has been serving the same cuisine and beverages since it first opened approximately 600 years ago, despite the fact that it is not housed in its original structure.
