A Venetian Renaissance building that stands out from the typical Alsatian architecture in Colmar.

Little Venice isn't called that for nothing. This astonishing Venetian Renaissance building is well worth a visit: it stands out from the typically Alsatian architecture of Colmar's other monuments. Built in 1608 by architect Albert Schmidt, it was destroyed in the 19th century and rebuilt identically. Its facade and roof are classified as Historic Monuments. Its arcaded gallery is simply sublime.

Cette maison évoque un palazzo vénitien et étonne dans l'environnement alsacien. Les deux galeries superposées sont rigoureusement symétriques.

Curiosité colmarienne ! Beaucoup de charme clairement inspirée des demeures vénitiennes !
Ironie ou pas nous avons un bras de rivière surnommé la petite Venise qui est à quelques pas de la maison des Chevaliers de Saint-Jean

Google maps had me all turned around! It's not the main street, go around the block to view.

Неожиданно увидеть во французско-немецком Кольмаре венецианский дворец. Он явно выделяется среди соседних построек. Дом имеет двухэтажную арочную галерею с каменной баллюстрадой, которая соединяет два здания. Одна стороны дома выходит на дорогу, другая — во внутренний дворик. Здание было построено в 1608 году архитектором Альбертом Шмидтом, который также известен как автор «дома голов» и «дома аркад». В 19 веке дом был реконструирован. Здание известно как Дом рыцарей св. Иоанна, хотя на самом деле оно никогда не принадлежало иоаннитам, так что название не соответствует действительности. Май 2022.

The rigorous symmetry, adorned with three galleries, two of which are arcaded dating from 1608, of the façade of the House of the Knights of Saint John, is reminiscent of a Venetian palazzo.

Saint John Knights had their houses in the Netherlands, Malta Jerusalem and Sweden. At one point they colonised some Caribbean Islands that they later handed over to France.

Their history is spreads several history and several disputed historic claims are made from current Orders of Saint John over the world.
