Journey through more than 500 years of history
Colmar is a mix of cultures with all of it’s history and it’s architecture is the most visible symbol of Rhenish art. Despite the wars, Colmar remained virtually unscathed and today offers a stroll through the centuries. Many monuments dating from the Middle Ages to Renaissance have been finely restored and are on the historical monuments list.
The religious architecture of the mendicant orders holds a special place
Present in Colmar since the 13th century, Dominicans and Franciscans have left us remarkable architectural ensembles. They are vast churches like those of the Dominicans (which houses the masterpiece of Martin Schongauer "The Virgin with the bush of roses") or that of the Franciscans, the Church of St. Matthew where are unfolding nowadays. many events and concerts of classical music, such as the symphonic concerts of the International Festival of Colmar.
