The Tour Neuve, also called the bell tower or knight's tower, is a remnant of the second enclosure built in 1280. Originally, the New Tower consisted of a crenellated terrace, decorated at the four corners with hexagonal watchtowers. A front door, a kind of open-air vestibule, formed a first defense and sheltered the drawbridge. A door pierced in the tower at the level of the rampart provided communication between the defenders of the advance and those of the enclosure. With the development of artillery at the beginning of the 17th century, the tower underwent changes. A second masonry has been built on the terrace, set slightly back, on which four watchtowers rest. In 1891, the Tour Neuve was hit by a fire that destroyed part of the district and left it without a roof for months. If you visit the New Tower there are several frescoes to admire. One represents some city businesses in the Middle Ages, the other a scene of hunting and the grape harvest. The vault depicts the lion of Sélestat and the Habsburg eagle.

Originally a baptistery of the eighth century located in the area of Charlemagne's Imperial Palace, the religious building has been rebuilt and expanded from the early thirteenth century. St. George's Church then underwent a major restoration campaign in the mid-nineteenth century, and then in the first half of the twentieth century. The Church of Saint-Georges is also home to many statues and several exceptional paintings. Of particular interest is the 18th-century Madonna of Piety in polychrome wood, a group of six pink sandstone statues depicting St. George, St. Nicholas, St. Paul, St. Peter, St. Agnes and St. Catherine, or a Madonna with child. from the first half of the nineteenth century.
