Saint Martin's Collegiate Church, Colmar

Highlight • Religious Site

Built from 1235 to 1365, the Collegiate Church of St. Martin is a major work of Gothic architecture in Alsace. The roof truss and the crowning of the south tower were destroyed in a fire in 1572. It was replaced three years later by the original onion-shaped skylight, which gives the building its characteristic silhouette. The church has undergone several restoration works. The last one, completed in 1982, exposed the foundations of a church from around the year 1000, as well as traces of successive additions in the 11th and 12th centuries.
For a long time, the Colmarer regarded the collegiate church of St. Martin as their cathedral ("Münster"). In fact, the collegiate church was not really a cathedral for about ten years: from the Civil Constitution of the Clergy in 1790 to the signing of the Concordat in 1801.

Tanners' Quarter (former tanners' district)

Highlight • Other

The tanners' quarter is made up of tall half-timbered houses, most of which date from the 17th and 18th centuries. These buildings were once home to the families of tanners who lived, worked and dried their skins on the top floor. Between 1698 and 1974, the tanners' quarter was extensively restored, giving the city center its splendor again.

Poissonnerie district

Highlight • River

THE FISHMONGER'S DISTRICT, Colmar
The fishmonger's district is where most of Colmar's professional fishermen and boatmen lived. They were part of a powerful corporation. The fish caught were stored in fish ponds or sold in the fishmonger's district. In 1706, a huge fire destroyed more than forty houses in the district. From 1978 to 1981, major renovation work made it possible to restore many of the half-timbered houses in this district, which lies between the Tanneurs district and the picturesque Little Venice.

Little Venice – Colmar

Highlight • Settlement

The Passage de la Lauch in Colmar, in the middle of flowery and colorful half-timbered houses, transports you to Venice, hence the name of the district.
The boats that roam the river create a very pleasant atmosphere that can be found in the adjacent streets and the covered market.
