Origin and history

The Parc de la Marseillaise is a green space classified as a historical monument, located in Guebwiller, in the department of Haut-Rhin. It is distinguished by its official inscription in 2013 and its remarkable garden label, highlighting its heritage and landscape value. Its location, between Victor-Hugo Street and Avenue des Chasseurs-Alpins, makes it an accessible place near the city centre, integrated with the local urban fabric.

The history of the park is marked by its listing in the inventory of historical monuments by decree of 19 August 2013. This protection covers the entire site, including its architectural elements (kiosk, rock fountain, factories), its fence wall, and furniture. The management of the park is the responsibility of the municipality of Guebwiller, confirming its anchoring in public life and its role as a space for relaxation and shared heritage.

The park is also cited in specialized publications, such as Cécile Modanese's article in Les Saisons d'Alsace (2017), which attributes its design to landscape architect Edward André. This reference highlights its importance in the history of the Alsatian gardens, although details of its creation or subsequent transformations remain little documented in available sources.

Administrative data indicate that the park is located on the cadastre under Parcel 11 86, with a geographical accuracy considered fair (level 5/10). Its official address, crossed by the Merimée bases and GPS coordinates, confirms its anchoring in the centre of Guebwiller, in the heart of the Alsatian Great East.
