A former residence of the prince-bishops, the Rohan Palace was built between 1732 and 1742. The building today houses three museums:

Housed in the basement of the Rohan Palace, the archaeological museum is one of the most finest in France thanks to the sheer magnitude of its collections. Here, visitors may discover several thousand years of Alsatian history, dating from 600,000 BC to 880, including some rich tombs from the bronze and iron ages, in addition to weapons and jewellery from the Merovingian period, not forgetting a unique opportunity to discover the life of the very first farmers in the Neolithic period or the day-today life of the Gallo-Romans.
