Bailliage Museum

The Bailliage Museum of Rouffach showcases the treasures of the former capital of the Haut-Mundat, as well as those of the villages that were part of its bailliage, lands under the authority of the seigneurial bailiff. Established in 1960 by the City of Rouffach at the initiative of the History and Archaeology Society of the Canton of Rouffach, the museum is located on the first floor of the old Grain Hall, a 16th-century building classified as a historic monument since 1921. The stone staircase with two converging flights, added in 1924, leads visitors to the permanent collections. The tour begins with a room dedicated to the history of Rouffach, from prehistory to its medieval rise. The second room presents two emblematic sites of the episcopal city: the former convent and the Récollets church, as well as the Church of Our Lady of the Assumption. Part of this space is devoted to the Rubiacum project, which brings together about fifteen experts to study the old houses of the town. Finally, an area recounts the life of François-Joseph Lefebvre (1755-1820), born in Rouffach, who became Marshal of the Empire and Duke of Dantzig under Napoleon.
