The Château des Rohan, formerly called "The Little Alsatian Versailles," is located in the city center of Saverne on the Rhine-Marne Canal. This former bishop's castle, built in the 13th century and restored in the 19th century on the initiative of Napoleon III, now houses a museum, a cultural center, a youth hostel, and a school. The neoclassical façade (park side), made of pink sandstone, is 140 meters long, which is the same horizontal height as Strasbourg Cathedral. The Château des Rohan Museum presents extensive Gallo-Roman and medieval archaeological collections. It consists of three departments: Art and History, Louise Weiss, and Archaeology. The Art and History department encompasses many areas: paintings, prints, and 15th- and 16th-century polychrome wood carvings from the churches of Saverne and the region, as well as a room dedicated to the history of the castle. Louise Weiss Department To honor her Alsatian ties (her family originally came from Petite-Pierre near Saverne), journalist Louise Weiss (1893-1983) donated her collections (ethnographic objects, paintings, drawings, 19th- and 20th-century decorative arts, and personal archives) to the Saverne Museum in 1981 and 1983. Archaeological Department In the vaulted cellars of the castle, the museum houses a rich archaeological collection, including numerous Gallo-Roman funerary and votive steles. Tours of the museum and access to the castle roof are available (upon request). Admission (museum + roof access): €5 (adults) and €4 (students)

This sculpture was made from many small pieces of wood. You can walk underneath it and look like a llama. A real eye-catcher in the square.

A large neoclassical palace from the late 18th century, especially in relation to the relatively small town. Located at the lower end of the old town, it has a large park at the rear, facing the Rhine-Marne Canal. The palace now belongs to the city and houses two museums, a primary school, a youth hostel, and several theaters and event venues. The varied history of its use is interesting; details can be found online: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rohan-Schloss

Large central square with many restaurants – and thankfully completely car-free.

Saverne is a great city. The square in front of the castle with its cafés, but also the pedestrian zone with its shops and restaurants or the harbor and the view of the castle. Saverne is a city with a very special charm and always worth a visit. ❤️👍👍👍❤️

The restaurant was closed on Sunday, but the pool was cool.

The cycle path runs straight along the canal - only for those who don't mind this.
