Strasbourg: from Grande-île to Neustadt, a European urban scene

Strasbourg: from Grande-île to Neustadt, a European urban scene, UNESCO World Heritage Site in Strasbourg, France

The Grande-île and Neustadt districts form a 183-hectare urban ensemble featuring medieval buildings, Gothic monuments, and German imperial architecture along the Ill River.

The Grande-île received UNESCO recognition in 1988, while Neustadt joined in 2017, making Strasbourg the first French city listed for its complete historical center.

The architectural design of both districts demonstrates the influence of French and German traditions through Gothic churches, Renaissance buildings, and imperial structures.

Visitors can reach all points of interest through an extensive network of 21 bridges and footbridges connecting both sides of the Ill River.

The population of Strasbourg increased from 80,000 to 180,000 between 1870 and 1915 due to German immigration following the creation of Reichsland.
