The Town Hall of Mulhouse (in French, Hôtel de Ville de Mulhouse) reflects the city’s blend of cultural influences : The Mulhouse Town Hall is an example of Renaissance architecture, built in 1552. What makes it particularly distinctive is its façade, painted in the trompe-l'œil style. The vibrant pinkish color of the building gives it an appearance that immediately catches the eye and sets it apart from other buildings in the area.
The Town Hall is also famous for the Klapperstein, a stone suspended from its corner. The guilty party like slanderers or gossipers) would be forced to wear the stone around their neck as public humiliation. The Klapperstein remains a symbol of justice and tradition in Mulhouse.

Like the nearby Town Hall, Maison Mieg is an example of Renaissance architecture, a period during which Mulhouse flourished. It has been home to the Mieg family, a prominent and influential family in Mulhouse’s history, for several generations. Its architecture is notable for its richly decorated façade, adorned with elaborate details typical of Renaissance-era designs. The house fits harmoniously into the historic Place de la Réunion, Mulhouse’s central square, where many other Renaissance-style buildings are located.

5

The Temple Saint-Étienne is a Protestant church located in the heart of Mulhouse and is often referred to as the "Protestant Cathedral of Mulhouse” The city, which was once part of the Swiss Confederation, embraced Protestantism early on, in the 16th century. The Temple Saint-Étienne serves as a symbol of this particular religious identity with strong ties both to the Reformation and to Catholicism dominant in the region.

6

The MUR (Mulhouse Urban Art) is a unique and dynamic street art project in Mulhouse, France, that brings contemporary urban art to the city’s streets. It stands for (Modular, Urban, Reactive). Every few weeks or months, a new artist is invited to create a large mural on the designated wall, transforming it into a fresh work of art each time.

7

The Bollwerk Tower (in French, Tour du Bollwerk) is a medieval watchtower that dates back to the 14th century and is one of the last remnants of the city’s ancient fortifications.
The Bollwerk Tower was built in the 14th century, originally as part of the city's fortifications. Architecturally, the Bollwerk Tower is a medieval military construction. Its octagonal shape, thick stone walls, and narrow windows were designed for defense. Even if over the centuries, the tower has been modified, it retains much of its original character.
