House built by the architect Albert Schmidt, evoking the golden age of the merchants and the ease of the merchant bourgeoisie
Built in 1609 by the architect Albert Schmidt on behalf of the merchant Anton Burger, the House of Heads is in the German Renaissance style. It owes its name to the 111 heads and biscorn masks that decorate its façade. The House of Heads evokes the golden age of the merchants and the wealth of the Colmar merchant bourgeoisie. In 1902, the gable of the building decorated with volutes and fins was surmounted by the statue of the Cooper, the work of Auguste Bartholdi. At the beginning of the last century, this three-storey building housed the Colmar Wine Exchange.

Elle a été construite en 1609 pour Anton BURGER qui deviendra bourgmestre en 1626 et tient son nom du grand nombre de mascarons (figures grotesques) qui ornent sa façade.
Depuis 1902, suite à l'affectation de l'immeuble à la Bourse aux vins de COLMAR , une statue de tonnelier a été installée au sommet du pignon?
La ville a mis en valeur l'immeuble à l'occasion de la campagne "octobre rose".
