Guebwiller, Administrative center in Haut-Rhin, France
The municipality extends across rolling hills at an elevation of 300 meters, bordered by vineyards and forests in the Grand Est region.
The region transformed from an industrial center into an administrative hub following the territorial reforms of 2015, which merged several local jurisdictions.
The town exhibits a combination of French and Germanic architectural elements in its buildings, streets, and municipal structures across its districts.
The commune serves as the administrative headquarters for 18 municipalities, providing essential public services to approximately 35,000 residents in the canton.

The Alsace Wine Route connects dozens of villages that have preserved their medieval structures. Half-timbered houses from the 16th and 17th centuries line cobblestone streets, while town walls and watchtowers testify to the region's strategic importance. Many villages feature Romanesque churches with sculptural decoration and historic town halls. Riquewihr, Ribeauvillé, and Eguisheim display typical examples of this architecture. Painted wooden beams on houses, old market squares, and vineyards on surrounding slopes characterize these settlements. Castle ruins such as Haut-Koenigsbourg occupy hilltops overlooking the Rhine plain. The region also maintains religious buildings like Murbach Abbey or the church of Thann with its Gothic portal. Local museums present medieval manuscripts and liturgical objects. This cultural landscape combines winemaking tradition with architectural heritage spanning several centuries.
