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.
