Colmar is a town and commune in the Haut-Rhin département of Alsace, France, of which it is the préfecture (capital). Colmar is also the seat of the highest jurisdiction in Alsace, the Cour d’appel de Colmar. It is situated along the Alsatian Wine Route and considers itself to be the “Capital of Alsatian Wine” (capitale des vins d’Alsace). Colmar is the home town of the painter and engraver Martin Schongauer and the sculptor Frédéric Bartholdi. The city is renowned for its well preserved old town, its numerous architectural landmarks and its museums, among which the Unterlinden Museum. Mostly spared by the destructions of the French Revolution and the wars of 1870-1871, 1914-1918 and 1939-1945, the cityscape of old-town Colmar is homogenous and renowned among tourists. The area crossed by canals of the river Lauch, and which formerly served as the butcher’s, tanner’s and fishmonger’s quarter, is now called “little Venice” (la Petite Venise). Colmar’s cityscape (and neighbouring Riquewihr’s) served for the design of the Japanese animated film Howl’s Moving Castle. Colmar’s secular and religious architectural landmarks reflect eight centuries of Germanic and French architecture and the adaptation of their respective stylistic language to the local customs and building materials (pink and yellow Vosges sandstone, timber framing).
