Here's the Breisach Canal, somewhat quaint and wild.

The Canal de Neuf-Brisach, which is mistakenly shown here on the map as the Canal de Colmar (as of October 2025), was previously called the Canal de Rouffach or the Canal de Vauban. It was built by the engineer Vauban and completed in 1699. It served as a transport route for building materials from the Vosges Mountains for the construction of the fortified town of Neuf-Brisach. It was originally 37 km long and had 15 locks.

Built in 1402 and named after the Gutgesell family of guards, Pope John XXIII was arrested at this gate in 1415 while fleeing the Council of Constance. Today, the upper floor houses the Jesters' Guild Room.

Neuf Brisach has four city gates, each at a 90-degree angle to each other. Only two of the old city gates survived: the Belfort Gate and the Colmar Gate. This gate changed its function several times. Initially, it served as a bakery and kitchen for the army. Later, the Germans converted it into a police station and prison. The upper floor also served as a casino for the German garrison.

The chapel 'Our Lady of the Three Ears of Corn' is famous for an apparition of the Virgin Mary in 1491. In 1968, a modern pilgrimage church was built, which in 1991 received a triple tower as a symbol of the "three ears of corn."
