Neuf-Brisach is the city of the Sun King: it was founded in 1699 by the sole will of Louis XIV. Today, this citadel is considered Vauban's masterpiece. This architecturally unique structure in Europe has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Its very existence, its clear and unbroken lines, its 48 blocks arranged in a regular octagon, its fortifications equipped with bastions... make this place a truly unique sight.

The Canal de Neuf-Brisach, which is mistakenly shown here on the map as the Canal de Colmar (as of October 2025), was previously called the Canal de Rouffach or the Canal de Vauban. It was built by the engineer Vauban and completed in 1699. It served as a transport route for building materials from the Vosges Mountains for the construction of the fortified town of Neuf-Brisach. It was originally 37 km long and had 15 locks.
