Colmar's Unmissable Gems

Colmar’s historic center showcases a dense concentration of Alsatian heritage, from the 13th-century Gothic architecture of Saint Martin's Church to the Renaissance ornate detail of the Maison des Têtes. The city is defined by the Lauch river’s canals in the Little Venice district, historic trading hubs like the 15th-century Koïffhus, and specialized collections such as the Unterlinden Museum's Isenheim Altarpiece. This selection highlights the architectural evolution of the Rhine Valley through preserved medieval streets and timber-framed structures.
