Jesuit College	Around 1570 an old school was converted into the Saint-Erhard seminary. In 1614 Jesuits from Freiburg im Breisgau established a college, which was taken over by Jesuits from Champagne in 1656. The church was built in 1690. In 1764 the college was closed. From 1773 the building was used as a poor house and in 1786 it was enlarged in the west. From 1793 to 1800 it was used as a military hospital, then again as a poor house until 1811. From 1811 the building was used as a warehouse and prison. It was badly damaged in World War II and had to be renovated in 1945/46. In 1988 the building was destroyed again in a fire. Only the central building and the two-storey sandstone church, which today serves as a Protestant church, have survived. The college is still used as a prison today. The administrative building is a three-storey plastered building with a risalite with an arched gable. The mighty entrance portal made of red sandstone extends to the first floor. Its entablature is crowned by two figures.	49 rue de la Première Armée Française ( location )	PA00085420	Inscrit	1987	more pictures
Hotel de la Couronne	The three-storey building complex consists of two houses with curved volute gables. The western building has a two-storey Renaissance bay on the gable side, which rises above a half-column and ends with a sump with tracery parapet. At the rear gable side there is a polygonal stair tower with a Renaissance portal. The building was erected in 1610.	47 rue de la Première Armée Française ( location )	PA00085422	Inscrit	1935	more pictures
town hall	The eaves building with a gable roof was built in the 16th century and between 1658 and 1674 was the seat of the Conseil Provincial d'Alsace. From 1678 the three-storey plastered building with eight window axes was privately owned. In 1816 the plastered building came back into the ownership of the town, first it was barracks and, from 1910, the girls' school. Today the building is the administrative center of the city.	6 place de l'Église ( location )	PA00085758	Inscrit	1990	more pictures

Old Town Hall	Between 1535 and 1547, the builders Stephan Gadinner and Heinrich Hermann built an administrative seat for the capital of the Landgraviate of Alsace under Landvogt Gabriel von Salamanca-Ortenburg. In 1636 the building became a barracks during the Thirty Years War. In 1658 it became the seat of the Conseil Souverain d'Alsace, which was to reorganize Alsace after the Peace of Westphalia and to set up administrative structures. When the council was relocated to Breisach am Rhein in 1674, the building was initially empty and was then the town hall from 1701 to 1958. Today the Musée de la Régence with a historical and archaeological section is housed here next to the tourist office. The right-angled building with two storeys and a hipped roof is influenced by the late Gothic and Renaissance periods. At the apex of the complex sits an octagonal stair tower with a star vault and a striking aedicule. The eastern wing is designed on the ground floor as an open columned hall with a reticulated vault and is accessed via pointed arches. Above it is a large conference room on the first floor, the three-part narrow windows of which are still influenced by Gothic. Fluted pilasters and wall columns structure the outside of the building. The capitals protrude on the ground floor in heavily framed wall templates, which originally probably contained images of emperors or archdukes and were removed during the French Revolution. There is a balcony on the south side.	Place de l'Église ( location )	PA00085421	Classé	1898	more pictures

City fortifications	A first city wall was built together with the no longer preserved castle in the 13th century. Between 1370 and 1420 the fortifications were modernized and towers were built. In 1580 the fortification was expanded according to plans by Daniel Specklin . During the Thirty Years War the city walls were badly damaged by the Swedes. In 1753 the Moors were reduced in height. The city gates were largely destroyed in the first half of the 19th century. The remains of both walls that have been preserved consist mainly of sandstone blocks, some roughly hewn. Earth walls should provide additional protection.	( Location )	PA68000002	Inscrit Inscrit	1996 1999
