Porte de France

Highlight • Restaurant

The southern city gate of Turckheim, also known as the Porte de Colmar or Niedertor, was built around 1330 and was the gateway for trade to Switzerland for centuries. Originally equipped with a drawbridge, portcullis and double doors, it was closed at night and during Sunday mass. The gate successively bore the coats of arms of the Holy Roman Empire and Louis XIV, and in 1871 two turrets were added – which were removed again in 1912. Today it is a beautifully preserved example of medieval city fortifications and an iconic landmark in the cityscape of Turckheim.

Türckheim

Highlight • Other

On the edge of the Vosges Mountains, between vineyards and hills, lies the colourful town of Turckheim – a pearl of Alsace. Known for its well-preserved city gates, half-timbered houses and medieval atmosphere, the village breathes history. In the summer months, a night watchman in traditional costume still keeps watch here, a tradition unique in the region. Cycle through the cobbled streets, admire the Hôtel des Deux Clefs, the Romanesque tower of the Église Sainte-Anne and the lively facades that give the town its charm. Turckheim is not only a feast for the eyes, but also a place with a rich history – from its Roman roots to the Battle of Turckheim in 1675.

Porte de Munster

Highlight • Monument

One of Turckheim's three city gates, this one slightly west of the town centre is much less visited but no less worth seeing.

We arrived at the campsite in Turckheim this afternoon and set off right away. It was a bit of a back-and-forth until we agreed on the route, but it was still a lovely walk over the rooftops of Turckheim and through the vineyards. Now we're off to a wine tasting at the campsite 😅

Nice walk with a stroll at the end through the very nice town of Turckheim, today without any tourists (except us)
