Ancienne Douane, Gothic administrative building in Grande Île, Strasbourg, France

The Ancienne Douane stands along the Ill River, featuring a prominent facade with traditional architectural elements and a waterfront terrace.

Built in 1358 for the boatmen's corporation, the building regulated and stored goods traveling along the Rhine, particularly salt from Lorraine.

The structure, known as Kaufhaus in German, reflects the dual French-German heritage of Strasbourg through its architecture and historical functions.

The building houses a restaurant with riverside dining and functions as a covered market space for local agricultural products.

Robert Will reconstructed the building between 1962 and 1965 following World War II damage, incorporating modern concrete while maintaining medieval plans.
