The fortifications are part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site "Fortifications of Vauban". Art installations can often be seen in the impressive complex of walls, moats and gates surrounding the city.

A powerful fortress in excellent condition. A tour directly outside the walls is recommended here, and a short 50 m detour into the outer ramparts reinforces the imposing impression. Can also be cycled around.

Neuf-Brisach is the city of the Sun King: it was founded in 1699 by the sole will of Louis XIV. Today, this citadel is considered Vauban's masterpiece. This architecturally unique structure in Europe has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Its very existence, its clear and unbroken lines, its 48 blocks arranged in a regular octagon, its fortifications equipped with bastions... make this place a truly unique sight.
