At this location you look at the town hall of Riquewihr. The old town hall, which was located in the center of the city, was demolished in 1798. The new town hall was placed here near the site where the Porte Basse once stood. The Porte Bass was demolished in 1808. On the foundations, the new building in neoclassical style was built in 1809. Now it is a beautiful reception building where you take a step from the present to the past. Once through the passage you enter the Middle Ages.

The neo-classical town hall of Riquewihr (Hotel de Ville) was built in 1809 on the edge of the city wall, at the “Porte Basse” (Lower City Gate).
If you go through the archway you enter the beautiful old town of Riquewihr, with the beautifully decorated half-timbered houses, squares and churches.

The town hall was built between 1808 and 1810 during the tenure of Mayor Samuel Karcher on the site of the old low gate with a tower. According to the text accompanying the laying of the foundation stone, the building was constructed according to the plans of the Colmar contractor Xavier Molly, which were reviewed and corrected by Louis Gouget, a retired engineer from Kaysersberg. He was entrusted with the construction supervision. According to a document from the Haut-Rhin Town Council, the plans were drawn up by Louis Gouget on behalf of the prefect. The construction work was accepted in June 1810. A modern extension was added to the north side, featuring a fire escape.
