Struthof, Concentration camp memorial in Natzwiller, France.

The Struthof memorial includes preserved barracks, a crematorium, and exhibition spaces documenting the experiences of prisoners during World War II.

Established by Nazi forces in May 1941, this concentration camp imprisoned resistance members and forced them to work in granite quarries until liberation.

The European Centre of Deported Resistance Members maintains extensive archives and documentation about prisoner experiences during the concentration camp period.

The memorial complex opens Tuesday through Sunday from 09:00 to 18:30, with two separate parking areas for cars and coaches near the entrance.

Located at 800 meters altitude in the Vosges Mountains, this concentration camp operated at the highest elevation of all Nazi detention centers.

Alsace stretches between Strasbourg and Mulhouse, presenting historical monuments from various periods. The region contains medieval castles such as Haut-Koenigsbourg, military fortifications by Vauban, and Romanesque and Gothic churches. Old town centres display characteristic half-timbered houses, while museums like the Railway Museum in Mulhouse or the Automobile Museum showcase technical collections. Strasbourg features its historic quarter La Petite France with canals and half-timbered buildings, along with the cathedral and its astronomical clock. Colmar offers the Unterlinden Museum housing the Isenheim Altarpiece and preserved old town districts. The Alsace Wine Route connects villages such as Riquewihr, Kaysersberg and Eguisheim, which have maintained their medieval structures. The Vosges mountains form the natural backdrop of the region with hiking trails and viewpoints. Fortifications like Fort de Mutzig reflect the military past. Religious buildings such as Murbach Abbey or the Church of Saint-Pierre-et-Saint-Paul in Rosheim document Romanesque architecture.
