Rosheim is a city of 5,000 standing 7 km north to Obernai and 25 km west to Strasbourg.
The site was already inhabited in the Neolithic but the city was first mentionned in 778 under the name of Rodashaim. In 1262, it was granted the statute of city and hence the right to build a city wall. Rosheim became an imperial city in 1303. In 1554, Rosheim built with nine other cities of Alsace, the « Décapole » which was an Alliance between these cities. Rosheim then expanded itself and built a second city wall.
Rosheim is considered to have one of the largest set of 12th and 13th buildings in Alsace. |

Very nice picture: Église Saint Pierre et Paul | evaanna Fri Jan 9, 2009 09:02 UTC
What a fascinating town with all its ancient architecture! Loved La Maison Romane, the church with its numerous statues, the well and the city gates. Thanks for pointing out the details to us. I wonder how you add those arrows to your photos. | deecat Fri Nov 28, 2008 12:52 UTC
What marvelous architecture! Fascinating to see up close the features of the buildings. Thanks for defining "acroteres". I love learning. Smiling about the 400-year-old bakery! | LoriPori Mon Aug 25, 2008 13:45 UTC
I would like this town to visit. Love walled towns. The Old Bakery and the Eglise St. Pierre & Paul look wonderful. |
