Botanic’s Saint Charles Store
A New Chapter in History Begins
Preserving our legacies. The Botanic Sanctuary Antwerp is proud of its heritage. Of its history as a monastery. Of the role played here by Peeter van Coudenberghe, Antwerp’s famous botanist and pharmacist.
Reinventing the Monastery’s Pharmacy
Our historic apothecary has been brought back to life. A life fashioned by enduring traditions and a passion for herbal medicine. Combining Europe’s traditional healing wisdom with contemporary insights, we joined forces with Saint Charles – a Viennese company whose vision chimed with ours. Indeed, many of their favourite herbs can be found growing in our gardens.
The products are packaged in high-quality, sustainable materials, resulting in excellent, visually attractive protection for the precious contents, most of which are made of organic, regionally sourced raw materials. Nothing is superfluous, everything is pared down to its roots.

The story of the Botanic Sanctuary Antwerp begins with the monks and nuns whose calling it was to care for those in need – whether physical or spiritual. When, in 1238, they settled on this site to establish the Sint-Elisabeth hospital, these early ‘apothecaries’ grew and foraged plants to concoct their own cures and potions. Their success in healing the sick and injured led to continuous improvements and extensions.
