Maison des Têtes, Renaissance merchant house in Colmar, France.

The Maison des Têtes features 111 sculpted heads decorating its main facade, along with a three-story oriel window rising above the entrance.

Built in 1609 for merchant Anton Burger, this German Renaissance building served as a central meeting point for wine traders in the late 19th century.

The building combines German Renaissance architectural elements with Alsatian design traditions, reflecting the regional identity through its decorative sculptures.

Located at 19 Rue des Tetes, the building contains a hotel with 18 rooms and a restaurant offering regional specialties from the Alsace region.

The rooftop features a statue of a cooper created by Auguste Bartholdi in 1902, marking the building's connection to local wine production.
