Origin and history

The house at 2 rue de Rathsamhausen in Guebwiller is an emblematic building of the Alsatian heritage. Built in the second half of the 18th century, it is representative of the civil architecture of this period in the region. Its canonical status suggests a link to the local religious chapter, although the sources do not specify its exact use at the time.

Ranked a historic monument by decree of 29 March 1935, this house is distinguished by its protected facades and roofs. The architect Gabriel-Ignace Ritter, mentioned as a masterpiece, is associated with its construction. The building thus illustrates the architectural know-how of the eighteenth century in the Upper Rhine, while at the same time testifying to the urban history of Guebwiller, a city marked by its religious and industrial past.

The information available comes mainly from the Merimée and Monumentum bases, as well as Wikipedia. Although the accuracy of its location is considered "passable" (note 5/10), the official address remains 2 rue de Rathsamhausen. No indication is given of its current accessibility (visits, rental) or its detailed conservation status.
