Corps de garde de Colmar, Renaissance guardhouse in Cathedral Square, Colmar, France.
The Corps de garde displays a light pink facade featuring ground floor arcades and an upper floor loggia supported by Tuscan columns.
Built in 1575 by architect Melchior Beier, this structure was first intended as a town hall before being converted into a military guardhouse.
The first floor grand hall maintains original sixteenth-century decorations, including an ornate pointed arch niche with carved patterns.
Located at 17 Cathedral Square, the building connects to Merchants Street through a narrow passage between structures.
The guardhouse stands upon foundations of a former thirteenth-century ossuary crypt that belonged to Saint Jacques Chapel.
