Maison Kammerzell
A 15th- to 16th-century timber-framed house on Cathedral Square with richly carved walls, now a famous Alsatian restaurant.
Maison Kammerzell stands on the north corner of Cathedral Square. Its stone ground floor was built in 1427, and the upper timber-framed floors were completed in 1589. The exposed wooden beams are carved with biblical figures, the signs of the zodiac and allegorical figures. Seventy-five small leaded windows sit in neat rows across the façade. It is the best-preserved late medieval house in Strasbourg. Today it is a restaurant, famous for its choucroute aux trois poissons, sauerkraut served with three kinds of fish. Diners can admire the murals inside. You can view the exterior for free, and it looks especially beautiful under lights at night.
Opening hours
Exterior open all day; restaurant about 12:00–14:30, 19:00–22:30
