Augustinian convent	The Augustinian Choir Women BMV came from Dieuze to Molsheim in 1836 and took over the Jesuit college. In 1837 they built a school building. The girls' boarding school, a study room and the chapel were housed in the south wing of the old college. In 1863/64 the Holy Cross Church was built according to plans by Claude-Léon Vautrin . In 1887 an orphanage was built. In 1954 the Augustinian choir women gave up their monastery and sold it to the community of Molsheim. The church tower was subsequently abandoned. The neo-Gothic hall church with transept has a choir with a three-sided end.	Avenue de la Gare Rue Notre-Dame ( location )	PA67000056	Inscrit	2002	more pictures
Metzig	The city's slaughterhouse was built in the late 16th or early 17th century. Strongly profiled round arches define the ground floor. Above that sits a cantilevered upper floor with balconies with tracery parapets on the gable ends, which continue into the long side. Storey cornices and pilasters divide the gable area with a volute gable. The long side of the square is defined by an open staircase running in the opposite direction with a tracery parapet. Above the entrance on the first floor sits a clock tower with rich figural decorations and a curved dome on two columns.	Place de l'Hôtel-de-ville ( location )	PA00084794	Classé	1920	more pictures
Cour d'Altorf	The abbot of the Benedictine monastery Altdorf acquired a residence in Molsheim in 1580. The building complex included three houses, a chapel and some outbuildings. Not all buildings have been preserved. In the Rue des Vosges there is a smaller gable-independent house with two floors and a polygonal stair tower. It was rebuilt in different ways at the end of the 16th or beginning of the 17th century. The main building on Rue Liebermann was built in 1606. The two-storey plastered building with a hipped roof has two large arched gates on the street side. In 1666 the abbot Bède Heldt left another gable-independent building in the rue de l'Hôpital, to which in 1668 a Joseph chapel with a three-sided end and gable portal was added. The property was originally protected by a high wall. After the French Revolution, the buildings were sold separately. The chapel was renovated in 1972/73.	16 rue Lieberman ( location )	PA00084795	Inscrit	1930	more pictures
Charterhouse	The former Charterhouse was built from 1592 by the monks of the Koenigshoffen Charterhouse after it was destroyed. During the French Revolution, the monastery was secularized and eventually large parts of it were demolished. Only a few buildings and parts of the cloister have survived. Only the foundation remained of the abbey church. The main building (today a museum) is a two-storey plastered building with corner blocks. In the center of the eight-axis facade is a central projectile with a round arch portal and triangular gable with figurative representation. The prior's two-storey building with guest house, which was used as a hospital for a long time, has also been preserved.	Cour des Chartreux ( location )	PA00084796	Classé	1998	more pictures
Large cemetery cross	The detailed crucifix is ​​considered the work of Veit Wagner and was created around 1500 for the Carthusian monastery in Koenigshoffen near Strasbourg. It came to the Molsheim Charterhouse in 1626 and stood there for around two centuries until it was moved to the communal cemetery at the time of the French Revolution. It is now in the Jesuit Church .	( Location )	PA00084797	Inscrit	1930	more pictures
Tamer	The church was built in the first half of the 11th century as a three-aisled basilica with a mighty, octagonal west tower on the upper floor. A three-part choir closes the nave. The main apse was originally semicircular (today three-sided), the side choirs rectangular. The ship's semicircular arcades sit on square pillars made of rubble stones. You enter the church through an open vestibule on the first floor of the tower. The actual portal of the church is a rectangular double portal with the relief figure of the church patron from the 12th century.	north of the city ( location )	PA00084594	Inscrit	1930	more pictures
Jesuit Church	The Jesuit College of Molsheim was founded in 1580. From 1618 to 1704 it was the main Catholic university in Alsace. The church was built from 1615 to 1617 according to plans by Christoph Wamser in the Renaissance style. In 1765 the college was dissolved. The church is a cruciform basilica with a polygonal choir with two side apses. The transept has curved gables. A square tower is in front of the nave in the facade. The nave has ten yokes. Round columns carry the pointed arches to the two-story aisles.	Rue Notre-Dame ( location )	PA00084798	Classé	1939	more pictures
Mount of Olives	The sandstone mountain of olives is divided into two terraces. The disciples sleep on the lower level, above which Christ kneels in prayer. Behind it, on a wall with flanking pilasters, soldiers can be seen coming to arrest Christ. The figure of Christ wears a bronze ring as a halo.	Rue Notre-Dame ( location )	PA00084799	Inscrit	1929	more pictures
Residential building	The narrow, elongated building was erected in the first half of the 17th century. The ground floor is made of stone, the upper floor was built in half-timbered construction. Corner blocks carry the consoles of the cantilevered upper floor. Striking volute gables with small obelisks define the narrow sides of the building. An oculus sits in the upper area of ​​the gable, which is structured by cornices .	1a, 1b rue de l'Église ( location )	PA00084800	Inscrit	1930	more pictures
Residential building	The three-storey plastered eaves building was built in 1628 and was the residence of the canons of the Strasbourg cathedral. In 1860 the cooper Antoine Fritz bought the building. The figural gable on the portal in the courtyard comes from him. Here sits a hexagonal stair tower. While the ground floor has only two very small windows apart from a round arched gate as a passage, there are five window axes each on the upper floors. In the center is the two-storey bay window made of light sandstone with parapets in the Renaissance style. Two simple ridge vaults arch over the passage. On the courtyard side sits an elaborate Renaissance portal with niches and foliage.	16 rue Jenner ( location )	PA00084801	Inscrit	1929	more pictures
Residential building	The two-story building was built in the 17th century and lost its second floor in a fire. Like the outbuilding, it was the seat of the canons of Strasbourg. A profiled cornice divides the facade. There are six window axes on the upper floor. The ground floor is defined by a mighty arched gate, the walls of which are adorned with niches and foliage.	20 rue Jenner ( location )	PA00084802	Inscrit	1929	more pictures
Residential and commercial building	The half-timbered house was built in 1607 over a stone ground floor. In the 17th and 18th centuries it was the seat of the bakers' guild, but there is no definite evidence that it was built for this purpose. On one of the windows on the upper floor there are breads and pretzels as guild symbols of the Becker, as well as the initials KS and unknown coats of arms. At the corner of the upper floors there is a rectangular bay window on sandstone consoles. Its posts, like the windows, are richly carved. Bars adorn the window parapets.	14 rue de Saverne ( location )	PA00084803	Inscrit	1929	more pictures
Residential and commercial building	The three-storey half-timbered building was built in 1605 for a baker. There is a shop on the stone ground floor, the front of which has been changed several times. Above this, the half-timbered floors protrude far on consoles. The three window axes are framed by strikingly carved posts and supported by consoles with animal and human heads.	9 rue de Strasbourg ( location )	PA00084804	Inscrit	1929	more pictures
Residential and commercial building	The three-storey plastered eaves building was built in 1618 for a craftsman or trader. It is the last house in town that has preserved the Renaissance arches for the shop windows on the ground floor. Cantilevered cornices structure the facade. The building is closed off by a small exit with an iron railing. Furthermore sits as Zwerchhaus a volute gable with obelisks. On the first floor there is a simple Renaissance portal with fluted pilasters that support a profiled entablature with the year.	15 rue de Strasbourg ( location )	PA00084805	Inscrit	1929	more pictures
Medieval city wall	The city wall was mainly built between 1250 and 1260 and extended to the east by the Strasbourg bishop Johann I of Strasbourg between 1318 and 1325 to protect the Sainte-Marie hospital and the new episcopal castle. Three city gates formed the entrance to the city. The mountain tower in the northeast was built in 1415. A three-arched sandstone bridge preceded it. The bridge was destroyed in 1808, the tower in 1819 and the watchman's house in 1868. The tanner tower in the northeast was built in 1498. It was also destroyed, as was the Linschen Tower, which was laid down in 1815. A 15 to 20 meter wide moat was built in front of the wall. This was filled in in the 18th century and a park was created. The preserved parts of the city wall in the south, west and north are between 7 and 9.50 meters high and around 1.20 meters thick.

Forge tower	The smith tower (also Schmidt tower ) probably dates from the 14th century and is the only surviving gate tower in Molsheim. In 1781 the tower got two low buildings aside, which served as guard houses. In 1783 it was badly damaged in a fire. The tower used as the south-eastern city gate was built on an approximately square floor plan made of red sandstone and has two flat pointed arches for passage. On the side out of town, the gate passage is located in a high segment arch niche. In it sits another niche above the gate with a neo-Gothic figure of the Virgin, which the citizens of Molsheim donated according to an inscription in 1868. A hipped roof with ridge turret and bell covers the tower.	Rue Notre-Dame ( location )	PA00084807	Inscrit	1929	more pictures
