Jardin de Ville
(Town garden)
The Jardin de Ville, or Garden of
the Lords of Ribeaupierre. Old
feudal park with view of the
Three Castles: Haut-Ribeaupierre,
Giersberg and St Ulrich.
The town's first name appeared in the 8th century during the
reign of Pippin III (Pippin the Short): Radbaldovillare. In a
document dated 21 March 1084, Emperor Henry IV of
Franconia (1065-1079) gave the land known as "Rapoldestein"
to the bishop of Basle. Towards 1185 the bishop passed it on to
one of his vassals, Eguenolf of Urslingen, who was established
in Würtemberg. Eguenolf of Urslingen kept the same coat of
arms, three escutcheons gules on a silver background. The
academic hall at the Town Hall, known as the "Red Room" is
entirely decorated with red Andrinople fabric, the dyeing of
which has made the name of the Alsace textile industry since
1870. The Ribeaupierre family had dinnerware in "vermeil"
(gold-plated silver) a real treasure which can be seen at
Ribeauvillé Town Hall, given to the town's Council Chamber
during the 30 Years war.

Since the Middle Ages, Notre-Dame
de Dusenbach is one of the most
renowned and common Pilgrimages of the Virgin in Alsace. It
originated under Eguenolphe de Ribeaupierre, who, on his return from
the Crusades (early 13th century), brought a statue of the Virgin
which he placed in a chapel built for the purpose in Dusenbach vale.
Over the centuries, the site was destroyed and rebuilt three times with
the help of the generosity of the faithful. The last reconstruction dates
from 1894 followed in 1903 with the addition of a large church,
finally consecrated in 1912. The Capucin monks, there
since 1904, give a warm welcome to the hundreds of
pilgrims, strollers, or visiting tourists who come to this
haven of peace and contemplation. Visitors are
recommended to leave their cars in the carpark at the
Ribeauvillé exit (Ste Marie aux Mines route) and take
the Chemin de Croix (Way of the Cross) (renovated in
2004), which is one of the most beautiful in Alsace.

Along shaded trails, Ribeauvillé
valley leads to two remarkable sites
In the middle of Place de la Sinne : the fountain sculpted by
a Ribeauvillé native, André Friedrich in 1862. It represents
the Town of Ribeauvillé, its agriculture and industry. The old fountain was
used as the town gauge (zinnen in German) which is why it is called Place
de la Sinne. You can see the Auberge du Soleil inn (once the meeting place of
the village musicians), the Auberge du Mouton inn (old post house) and the
Cour des baillis (Cultural centre).
In Alsatian imagery, Ribeauvillé is famous
for its Three Castles situated on the same
mountain, overlooking the town and plain with their majestic
silhouettes. Saint Ulrich castle, an ordinary residence of the powerful
Lords of Ribeaupierre until the early 16th century, is one of the most
prestigious fortresses in Alsace. With Haut-Ribeaupierre (12th
century) and Giersberg (13th century) nearby, they form a leading
feudal group among the most important historical sites in Alsace.

Vidéo A-5
The Porte des Pucelles built on the North
Rampart of the Middle Town and
completely replaced in 1780. (This name is
due to an old translation error alluding to
the Statue of the Virgin Mary installed in a
niche in the original door.)

The parish church of St Grégoire dates from the
13th century. The main nave was completed in

the coat of arms of the Ribeaupierre, Colmar and
the Bishops of Strasbourg and Basle.

in the form of a blacksmith with his
leather apron and leggings (Wet

protection against the heat
of the furnace).
15
Place du Bouc
The Stadtbach which runs
there was the meeting place
of washer-women until 1965.
Next door the house with a
spiral staircase and sculpted

Pieta of 1788
In the Grand’Rue, "High Town" on the right, n°116, old "Moulin
des Seigneurs" (Lords' mill), has a water wheel about 3.50 m in
diameter. This mill supplied flour for the 4th Lord's castle until the
Revolution. It was transformed to a
carpentry shop powered by this same
wheel until 1970. This building was
succeeded by the old Lords' forge, the
façade of which is a listed building.
Convent Church
Place de l’Hôtel de Ville, the old church
of the Augustines Convent, now church
of the Sisters of "Divine Providence"
with a canonical sundial at the corner
of the sacristy at the start of rue des

The Petite rue du Temple opens into the
Grand’Rue. At the corner of this street, the house
known as "du Dusenbach" because of the statue
of the Virgin of that name, in the wall of the
façade, last house in the "Middle Town".
