History+

The city of Ettenheim belonged to the secular possessions of the Prince-Bishopric of Strasbourg since the 11th century. In 1560, Bishop Erasmus Schenk von Limpurg had the building constructed as an administrative office in the Renaissance style. It was built on older cellar foundations as a three-story structure with a high, also three-story gabled roof. In the 18th century, Ettenheim was expanded into a secondary residence alongside Strasbourg and Saverne and redesigned in the Baroque style.
