Carousel at Place de l'Étoile, Obernai

Highlight • Structure

The Place de l'Etoile (Star Square) takes its name from a former inn. The mill canal once flowed across the square, which was also used for calibrating barrels, hence the name "Sinnplatz" (meaning place). The number of mills powered by the Ehn or the canal varied over time. A flourishing viticulture industry and a diverse range of crafts promoted the town's development during the Renaissance. Obernai wine was sold primarily in northern Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and the Vosges Mountains.

Unfortunately, we were there on market day.
One could only imagine the beautiful path, as there were food and junk vendors all along the way.

Halle au Blé

Highlight • Historical Site

Former public butcher's shop built in 1554 in the Renaissance style, with which Gothic elements are mixed. A double exterior staircase gave access to the first floor. The gabled facade is decorated with two heads of cattle and the coat of arms of the town of Obernai. Now good restaurant and stork on the roof.
