Porte de France

Highlight • Restaurant

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.

Turckheim town centre

Highlight • Settlement

The Mairie de Turckheim, located on the rue du Conseil, is an elegant and well-maintained building that fits perfectly into the historic cityscape of Turckheim. The architecture is classical and understated, with a symmetrical facade, sandstone details and a saddle roof that harmonizes with the surrounding half-timbered houses. In front of the building is a charming little square with a fountain, often richly decorated with flowers, which gives the whole a picturesque appearance. From here you have a beautiful view of the surrounding streets of the old town, with their colorful facades and medieval atmosphere.

Türckheim

Highlight • Other

On the edge of the Vosges Mountains, between vineyards and hills, lies the colourful town of Turckheim – a pearl of Alsace. Known for its well-preserved city gates, half-timbered houses and medieval atmosphere, the village breathes history. In the summer months, a night watchman in traditional costume still keeps watch here, a tradition unique in the region. Cycle through the cobbled streets, admire the Hôtel des Deux Clefs, the Romanesque tower of the Église Sainte-Anne and the lively facades that give the town its charm. Turckheim is not only a feast for the eyes, but also a place with a rich history – from its Roman roots to the Battle of Turckheim in 1675.

Half-Timbered Houses in the Ring Alleys of Eguisheim

Highlight • Settlement

What makes Eguisheim special is that these half-timbered houses are built in concentric circles around the former castle of the Counts of Eguisheim. This creates a unique street pattern that invites visitors to wander around the village in circles. The houses are often painted in bright colours and richly decorated with flowers, wooden shutters and wrought iron signs. Each house seems to tell its own story, and together they form a harmonious whole that gives Eguisheim its fairytale appearance.

The historic village center is completely car-free. This not only preserves its medieval charm but also makes strolls more relaxing—no traffic noise, just cobblestones, half-timbered houses, and flowers.

Wonderful tour between the stories of the land and the vines. In addition, almost everything on bike paths and, surprisingly, in the grotto of Lourdes.

May 8, 2022,Durch Weinberge und Weindörfer- Runde um Colmar

Our tour started in Colmar and continued through the suburbs along the Fecht river to Turckheim, one of the many idyllic half-timbered villages in this area. There is a Silbermann organ in the Church of St. Anna. We continued through vineyards at the foot of the Vosges to our next destination, Egiusheim, certainly one of the most beautiful places in …

September 23, 2022,Vom Campingplatz de L'ill über Eguisheim nach Turckheim dann Colmar und zurück zum Campingplatz

Beautiful, not difficult day tour from the campsite de l'ill via the beautiful village of Eguisheim, further via Wintzenheim to Turckheim. From Turckheim then via Colmar back to the campsite. We spent several hours each in Eguisheim and Turckheim, which was very worthwhile. The route from Turckheim to Colmar is not so well signposted, so minor detours have been made. …
