Maison Pfister, Colmar
Maison Pfister
A 1537 house with painted wooden galleries, its corner turret and murals well preserved, making it one of Colmar’s most photogenic old houses.
Maison Pfister was built in 1537 by a hat maker and is one of the most famous houses in Colmar’s old town. Its octagonal corner turret, carved wooden gallery on the second floor and painted murals of biblical scenes and emperors on the façade are all well preserved. It stands where Rue des Marchands meets Rue Mercière, beside the Bartholdi Museum. A few minutes’ walk takes you to the Old Customs House and Little Venice. The ground floor is a wine shop. You can view the exterior for free, and early morning, when there are fewer people, is the best time for photos.
