Ancienne chancellerie

Dating back to the end of the 15th century, today the Tourist Office and the Alsatian Museum share this emblematic site in the pedestrian zone. The museum boasts a fine collection of traditional Northern Alsatian costumes, barrel locks and antique locks, as well as a collection of popular imagery and coaster paintings. The top level of the museum is reserved for the reconstruction of a traditional interior: the kitchen, the "stub" or living room, and a potter's workshop. The building features an astronomical clock dating from 1904. It is a reproduction of an astrolabe, made for the town hall in Ulm (Germany) in 1581, by Isaac Habrecht, designer of the astronomical clock in Strasbourg Cathedral. The team at the Pays de Haguenau Tourist Office will advise and inform you, help you plan your stay in Alsace and guide you around the region.
