Historical Museum of the City of Strasbourg

The Historical Museum of the City of Strasbourg occupies a Renaissance building from 1588 that was originally constructed as a slaughterhouse. The displays include paintings, sculptures, military objects, and clothing that trace the city's past.

The building was constructed in 1588 as a slaughterhouse and held an important place in the city's commercial life. After extensive restoration work, it reopened as a museum for public viewing.

The collection shows how people in Strasbourg and the wider region lived and worked through everyday objects and crafts. You can learn about local traditions by looking at the items on display.

The museum is located in central Strasbourg and is easy to reach on foot. Guided tours and temporary exhibitions are regularly offered to help visitors understand the collections better.

A rare relief map from 1727 shows Strasbourg and its surroundings with remarkable detail and precision. This model is one of only a few examples of its kind that survives from that era.
