The bourgeois house was built in 1609 in the Rhenish Renaissance style and owes its name to the unusual decoration of 105 grotesque masks. A magnificent two-storey bay window with a balcony above adorns the façade, which is irregularly punctuated by windows with carved pillars. At the very top of the curved gable stands a bronze Alsatian cooper, created by Auguste Bartholdi. It is a reminder that the house was once used as a wine exchange.
