Clock Tower or Tour Neuve

The Tour Neuve, also known as the Clock Tower due to its double-faced clock, was originally one of the four gates of Sélestat's second enclosure, built in 1280. Facing south, it opened onto the road coming from the Ried, forming part of a network of routes converging on the town. This strategic position contributed to Sélestat's economic growth.

The tower's south facade is decorated with murals: on one side is the Calvary with the Virgin and Saint Foy, and on the other, Saint Christopher. Under the vault, coats of arms and scenes depicting guilds can be seen.

It should be noted that this tower is only visible from the outside.
