Maison Kammerzell

Maison Kammerzell. Built in 1427 and rebuilt in 1467 and 1589 when the Renaissance upper levels were added. The timbered structure is considered one of the most ornate and well preserved among late Gothic civil structures. Originally occupied by a draper and then by a cheese merchant. The ground level represents Medieval Gothic trading rows. Adaptive reuse as a restaurant.16 Place de la Cathédrale.
