Great city center. It doesn't have to hide from Colmar.

A charming Alsatian village with approximately 4,700 inhabitants. The old town is well worth seeing with its colorful houses. Ribeauvillé is also very popular because of the hike to its three castle ruins that overlook the town.

The Fontaine de la Sinne was built in 1862 to replace the old Sinne fountain, which was relocated to the Place de la République. It is typical of the period due to its monumentality and the symbolism of the statue, which represents an allegory of the town of Ribeauvillé and evokes its trade, viticulture, and forests.

The town hall was built between 1808 and 1810 during the tenure of Mayor Samuel Karcher on the site of the old low gate with a tower. According to the text accompanying the laying of the foundation stone, the building was constructed according to the plans of the Colmar contractor Xavier Molly, which were reviewed and corrected by Louis Gouget, a retired engineer from Kaysersberg. He was entrusted with the construction supervision. According to a document from the Haut-Rhin Town Council, the plans were drawn up by Louis Gouget on behalf of the prefect. The construction work was accepted in June 1810. A modern extension was added to the north side, featuring a fire escape.
