20의 술츠바흐가지 명소 & 주요 장소

This picturesque wine village is built in concentric circles around a medieval castle. You can walk or cycle here between colorful half-timbered houses, flower boxes and wine cellars. Eguisheim was not only voted one of the “Most Beautiful Villages in France”, but also the favorite city of the French in 2013.

Welcome to Eguisheim, the village where the houses are so photogenic they’re probably taking selfies when you’re not looking. Everything here looks like it was designed by an interior designer with a flower addiction and a passion for pastels. The streets wind in circles, so if you’re thinking, “I’ve been here before,” you’re right – you’ve just landed on an architectural merry-go-round. Perfect for those who love half-timbered houses, wine, and getting lost in the most charming way possible.

The southern city gate of Turckheim, also known as the Porte de Colmar or Niedertor, was built around 1330 and was the gateway for trade to Switzerland for centuries. Originally equipped with a drawbridge, portcullis and double doors, it was closed at night and during Sunday mass. The gate successively bore the coats of arms of the Holy Roman Empire and Louis XIV, and in 1871 two turrets were added – which were removed again in 1912. Today it is a beautifully preserved example of medieval city fortifications and an iconic landmark in the cityscape of Turckheim.

One of Turckheim's three city gates. Directly behind the gate opens the beautiful historic town.

Very nice place with historical buildings. There is a small supermarket to replenish supplies. If you want to eat in one of the restaurants in the evening, you should definitely make a reservation; without a reservation it will be very difficult in the season.

Nice starting point for the tour

The stork is the symbolic animal of Alsace. The people here believe that the stork was present at the crucifixion of Jesus. Of course, that's why they honor him so much. Adebar also breeds in other regions of France, such as along the Atlantic coast.

Many wineries are built in a typical way. Characteristically, the ground floor was built in stone to support the timber frame construction. The half-timbering was sober until the 16th century and the woodwork is protected by soot or red iron oxide. Pigments and colors on the facades are priceless, which is why clay or whitewash is used. In the 17th century, the windows become larger, wooden decorations embellish the facades and pastel colors are used by the very wealthy. In the 19th and 20th century, a building is completely provided with a layer of cement. But for several decades now, woodwork of a house has become visible again. With the arrival of paint and its wide color palette, the Alsace region takes on a cheerful note... Her new identity is colorful 🌈
