Sélestat's greatest treasure is its famous Humanist Library. This unique site houses rare manuscripts and books dating from the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. A visit that will plunge you into the history of a town that was once at the heart of the great humanist ideas.
Sélestat reveals its treasures around every corner: the majestic church of Saint-Georges, with its remarkable stained-glass windows, and the church of Sainte-Foy, a jewel of Romanesque art. For a medieval touch, don't miss the Tour des Sorcières and the remains of the ramparts, perfect for imagining life in days gone by.
Sélestat is also the birthplace of the Christmas tree! The first written mention of this festive emblem dates back to 1521, right here. In December, the town lights up and celebrates this tradition with a fairytale atmosphere.
