- the 16th century Town Hall, landmark site of the town with its decorative facade and now home to the history museum

- the Mieg House, a 15th century townhouse that was for a long time the home to one of the wealthiest families in Mulhouse

- the pharmacy on the Place de la Réunion was built in the 15th century and has been a pharmacy since the middle of the 17th century, which must be some kind of record for a successful business! Go inside to take a look at the painted ceiling.
