Eguisheim. great, one of the few houses that has not been hyper-renovated

Highlight • Other

Absolutely stunning and charming historical village! The buildings are not only beautiful, but also so well preserved. Some are a little more decrepit and in-need of maintenance, but it's still a gorgeous place to see!

Eguisheim Village Center

Highlight • Settlement

Eguisheim is one of the most picturesque villages in Alsace and was voted the most beautiful village in France in 2013. Built in concentric circles around the ruins of a medieval castle, the village is known for its colourful half-timbered houses, flower-filled facades and charming squares. The central Place du Château Saint-Léon is the heart of the village, with a fountain, a chapel and pleasant terraces. Eguisheim is located on the Route des Vins d’Alsace and is surrounded by vineyards, making it a popular stop for cyclists who want to combine culture, heritage and wine in an atmospheric setting.

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.

Turckheim town centre

Highlight • Settlement

The Mairie de Turckheim, located on the rue du Conseil, is an elegant and well-maintained building that fits perfectly into the historic cityscape of Turckheim. The architecture is classical and understated, with a symmetrical facade, sandstone details and a saddle roof that harmonizes with the surrounding half-timbered houses. In front of the building is a charming little square with a fountain, often richly decorated with flowers, which gives the whole a picturesque appearance. From here you have a beautiful view of the surrounding streets of the old town, with their colorful facades and medieval atmosphere.

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.
