Pfister House

Built in 1537 for Ludwig Scherer, a hatter enriched by silver trade in the Val de Liepvre, the Pfister House represents the beginnings of Renaissance architecture in Colmar.

Despite its medieval appearance, it stands as the city's first example of this style. Its two-level corner bay window, carved wooden gallery, octagonal turret, and murals depicting biblical and secular scenes make it a remarkable building. A symbol of old Colmar, it is named after the family who restored and lived in it between 1841 and 1892.

In 2012, its facade and roof were restored to preserve this unique heritage.
