THE HOUSE OF HEADS
House built by the architect Albert Schmidt, evoking the golden age of the merchants and the ease of the merchant bourgeoisie
Built in 1609 by the architect Albert Schmidt on behalf of the merchant Anton Burger, the House of Heads is in the German Renaissance style. It owes its name to the 111 heads and biscorn masks that decorate its façade. The House of Heads evokes the golden age of the merchants and the wealth of the Colmar merchant bourgeoisie. In 1902, the gable of the building decorated with volutes and fins was surmounted by the statue of the Cooper, the work of Auguste Bartholdi. At the beginning of the last century, this three-storey building housed the Colmar Wine Exchange.

Le service est orienté client, sourire et politesse. Le petit-déjeuner je dirais, gastronomique servi par deux dames très sympathique et gentil, cela vaut le détour..
Merci à toute l'équipe
