The Wildungshof House is a historic monument in Colmar, in the French department of Haut-Rhin.
In the 14th century, this building belonged to the von Wittenheim family. In 1448, the farm returned to Beat Henslin.
The wooden gallery from 1598 was likely built by Samuel, son of Beat Henslin.
Voltaire stayed in this residence for thirteen months (1753 and 1754) to complete his Imperial Annals after his dismissal from the court of Frederick II.
The Court Gallery has been a listed historic monument since January 12, 1989.
