North gate of the fortress

Generally worth the walk along the Vauban fortress, sometimes you can climb with a little and flashlight into the interior.

Neuf-Brisach was built at the beginning of the 18th century by the fortress builder Prestre de Vauban, who used it as a planned town in the form of an octagon with a central parade ground, which is now used as a marketplace, and a grid-shaped road network as the ideal form of a fortified city. In the city there were accommodations for soldiers and officers, utilities, a church, houses for non-military residents of different estates. The system of walls, ditches and gates around the city is still impressive today.

Coming from the north you can start here the tour through the ramparts.
