Riquewihr is a town located on the Alsace wine route, in eastern France. Its cobbled streets are dotted with half-timbered winemaker's shops and tasting rooms. Winegrower's tools and a restored kitchen are on display in the Maison de Vigneron, dating from the 16th century. The Dolder Tower from 1291 houses the Dolder Museum and centuries-old weapons. The Tower of Thieves is a former prison from the 14th century where instruments of torture are kept.
Between the Crêtes des Vosges and the plain of Alsace, Riquewihr is a medieval city, located in the heart of the Alsatian vineyard, classified among the "Most Beautiful Villages of France".
This magnificent city has been able to combine for centuries the quality of its architecture with that of its wines, recognized worldwide, hence its name of "Pearl of the Alsatian vineyard".
Riquewihr, one of the essential places to visit in Alsace, is an "open-air museum" which has managed to preserve its authenticity, behind its walls that only the vines now besiege.
Riquewihr, made up of a very old urban fabric, is made up of, among other things:
half-timbered houses from the 13th to the 18th century, closely joined,
du Dolder, preserved city gate dating from the 13th century,
which form an exceptional architectural ensemble.
The type of Alsatian house reaches its most accomplished expression in Riquewihr by offering all the possible variations of sculpted half-timbering, oriel windows, interior courtyards embellished with old wells and fountains.
Museums allow you to discover the historical and cultural heritage of the Pays de Ribeauvillé:
the Tower of Thieves (former prison of Riquewihr),
the 16th century winegrower's house,
the Dolder Tower (former defensive gate from the 13th century)
Admirably flowered in spring and summer, the city takes on its Christmas colors during the Advent period, in a unique atmosphere that combines the magic of Christmas with Alsatian traditions.
