The Pays de Hanau Museum

The Pays de Hanau Museum in Bouxwiller is housed in a beautifully renovated architectural complex listed as an Historic Monument. The 16th century corn exchange and the castle chapel from the 14th century form the setting for this Musée de France, a veritable aid to interpreting a region with multiple heritages. The spaces punctuated by the imposing wooden roof structure create original atmospheres, appropriate to the different themes. Thanks to a subtle and modern museum design, you will discover the history, culture and natural environment of this engaging region which is the Pays de Hanau. The town of Bouxwiller, the former capital of the County of Hanau-Lichtenberg, and later the residence of the princes of Hesse-Darmstadt, has retained numerous reminders of its remarkable past. Games, hands-on exhibits, numerous films and listening points give young and old alike a true feel of the museum. The museum offers themed discovery trails designed to complement your visit and explore the Town of Bouxwiller, the Pays de Hanau and the former County of Hanau-Lichtenberg.

Ancien camp de concentration de Natzweiler-Struthof

Site officiel de l'ancien camp de concentration de Natzweiler-Struthof, le seul camp nazi sur le territoire français, alors en Alsace annexée

Reviewed By Titch-the-Witch - Romanel, Switzerland

This is a beautiful location with a horrific history. I think this is one of the lesser known concentration camps but it is worth a visit. It is set on a fairly steep slope which was an additional problem for those interned here. There is a film in the main building as well as information about other camps. On the site itself there are only a few barracks left, including one used for "experiments" on the prisoners where there is also a gas chamber and a cremation oven. Off the main site there is another gas chamber in what used to be a hall used for parties. It is thought-provoking and shocking that over 20,000 people perished here. I don't consider this would be a suitable visit for younger children.

Musee historique de la Ville de Strasbourg

Reviewed By schvitzNewYorkCity - New York City, United States

And it IS an interesting story. We knew nothing of the city's history other than it came French at some point. This nicely organized museum puts meat on that bone. Strasbourg's history as a free city, effectively a republic, until Louis XIV made it French, is a remarkable story. Definitely worth a visit.
