What makes Eguisheim special is that these half-timbered houses are built in concentric circles around the former castle of the Counts of Eguisheim. This creates a unique street pattern that invites visitors to wander around the village in circles. The houses are often painted in bright colours and richly decorated with flowers, wooden shutters and wrought iron signs. Each house seems to tell its own story, and together they form a harmonious whole that gives Eguisheim its fairytale appearance.

The picturesque half-timbered houses in Eguisheim line the narrow ring road of the Rue du Rempart Sud. Where the two ring streets of Rue du Rempart Sud and Rue de l'Allemend Sud meet is one of the well-known photo motifs of Eguisheim, a small half-timbered house, framed by the streets and the houses on the right and left. Picturesque, but usually well attended.
