One of the few surviving half-timbered houses and the most famous building in the city is a blue half-timbered house nicknamed the Tour Eiffel (16th century). However, it has little to do with the builder of the famous Parisian landmark Gustave Eiffel. In front of the house there used to be a tower for monitoring shipping traffic, but the nickname is supposed to come from the similarity of the blue framework with the steel construction. Today the Tour Eiffel houses the tourist information office. General maps of the region and German information brochures are available here.
