Dahlia Garden

The Hôtel de Saint-Lô, built in 1574, is distinguished by its façade adorned with three large arches supporting a balcony with a wrought iron railing.

Nearby, the Hans Billex house, dating from 1615, draws attention with its two-story oriel window and a doorway framed by pilasters.

In 1649, the royal commissioner Jean de Saint-Lô connected these two buildings with a staircase turret, creating an architectural ensemble representative of the late Renaissance in Alsace.

The inner courtyard, formerly called the Sisters of Niederbronn courtyard, has been transformed into a garden where various varieties of dahlias bloom, recalling the city's famous flower parade. A small picturesque shed houses a collection of old gardening tools. With the arrival of winter, this garden turns into a space dedicated to the Christmas tree, recalling its first historical mention in 1521. Throughout December, it becomes a temporary forest garden, illuminated and showcasing different species and varieties of fir trees.
