Taverne Katz (interesting building)

View from the garden to the 🏰

This lock is precision work. Shortly afterward, it's best to cross to the opposite side of the canal to safely backtrack a bit and view the boat lift from below. This way, you can avoid the road.

"The castle was built between 1780 and 1790 by the architect Nicolas Alexandre Salins de Montfort [...]. The commissioner was Cardinal Louis René Édouard de Rohan-Guéméné, who owned other residences, including the Palais Rohan in Strasbourg and the more modest Rohan Castle in Mutzig." (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rohan-Schloss)

For centuries, the residence of the Strasbourg bishops stood here. The previous building burned down in the 18th century, and when the French Revolution broke out, only the shell of this building was completed. Thus, it was never used for its original purpose. Since then, it has served various purposes: barracks, living space, town hall... Today, it houses a primary school, the youth hostel, the city museum, a large event hall, the "Espace Rohan," and four additional theater and event halls.

Saverne was already a Roman military post in the 4th century. From the 15th century until the French Revolution, Saverne was the residence of the powerful bishops of Strasbourg. The Château de Rohan, which boasts the longest neoclassical façade of any building in France, still bears witness to this.

Very nice to ride: moderate gradient, little traffic.

I love coming here to Saverne. The town has such a wonderful atmosphere.
