Parc de Wesserling, Historical textile park in Husseren-Wesserling, France.
Description
Parc de Wesserling is a 42-hectare site featuring five distinct gardens, a textile museum, and preserved industrial buildings from the manufacturing era. The grounds document the long history of fabric production in the Alsace region.
History
In the late 19th century, the site operated as a Royal Factory and was one of only two facilities in France producing printed fabrics for the royal court. This special role made it a significant economic and technical center of its era.
Culture
The site celebrates textile traditions through ongoing exhibitions and live demonstrations where you can watch fabric being produced using historical techniques. These crafts shaped the identity and economy of the surrounding region for centuries.
Practical
The park is easy to explore on foot with clear paths through the gardens and between buildings. Visitors will find parking on-site, and there is a restaurant and shop for refreshments and souvenirs.
Did you know?
The Grande Chaufferie showcases the steam boiler system of the old factory grounds and allows visitors to understand the inner workings of the historical heating infrastructure. This rare glimpse into technical machinery shows how energy powered fabric production.
