Discover the former capital of the Habsburgs and its fabulous museum housed in the Regency Palace, one of the finest architectural achievements of the Alsatian Renaissance.
The archaeological section takes visitors on a journey back in time, with artefacts from the early Neolithic period testifying to a human presence dating back several millennia. Local excavations have yielded some surprising treasures, including a double-braided skull...
The historical museum plunges you into the world of the Habsburgs and the important link between the town and this dynasty, with the oldest meteorite recorded in the world, which fell in 1492.
Finally, in the Miner's Museum, you'll discover the history of potash mining and the harsh working conditions of the miners.
Each section features multimedia tools to help you learn more about the town's history, and a free game/discovery booklet is also available for younger visitors!
Guided tours are available on reservation.
