The Alsace Ecomuseum is a reconstitution of a real Alsatian village, with 73 houses which were dismantled and rebuilt here.
Created by a handful of enthusiasts who wanted to save authentic Alsatian houses from destruction, it has grown to become one of the largest open-air museums in Europe.
The houses include farmhouses and half-timbered houses, workshops, a town-hall, a school, a wash-house, a chapel, a sawmill and several barns. Their trans-location to the open air museum was facilitated by the wooden structure of the vast majority of the homes: in Alsace, half-timbering is extremely common, except in the Alsatian Vosges, where houses are built from stone.
