Origin and history
The Moosbrugger House is an emblematic building of the city of Thann, in the Haut-Rhin department. Ranked a historic monument since 1929, it bears witness to the 16th century Alsatian civil architecture. Its façade and roof, rebuilt after the destruction of the First World War, illustrate efforts to preserve the local heritage.
The house, located at 104 First Army Street, suffered major damage during the bombings of 1914 and 1918. Its restoration in 1920, including a total reconstruction of the roof, kept its historic character. Today, it embodies the resilience of the Alsatian heritage to conflict.
The 1929 classification specifically protects the street façade, roof and gable walls, highlighting their architectural value. Although little documented about its occupants, this house remains a symbol of Thann's urban history, between medieval tradition and post-war modernity.
