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.
