Stans is the capital of the canton of Nidwalden in central Switzerland. This historic town, situated at the foot of the Stanserhorn mountain, maintains much of its traditional Swiss character with its well-preserved old town center.
The town square, dominated by the statue of Arnold von Winkelried, a legendary Swiss hero, features notable historic buildings including the St. Peter and Paul Parish Church and the Town Hall, both exemplifying regional architectural styles. Stans has played a significant role in Swiss history, particularly during the French invasion of 1798.
Today, the town serves as a cultural center for the region, hosting various museums that preserve and showcase local heritage, crafts, and historical artifacts. The town's location also makes it a gateway for outdoor activities in the surrounding Alpine landscape.
