Maison Pfister

I came here on a recommendation I received in Strasbourg! A lovely lady spotted my Studio Ghibli tattoos and informed me that the inspiration for the initial town came from Colmar, so I just had to detour on my road trip to see for myself. It’s SO BEAUTIFUL, and the inspiration is very evident. The area itself had lovely street music going on and since I visited a week and a half before Easter it was beautifully decorated. Tons of markets in the area to explore.

追尋《霍爾移動城堡》裡的魔法足跡 🔮 Stepping into a fairytale! Built in the 1500s, this medieval-looking Alsatian house was commissioned by a wealthy hatter—just like Sophie, a hatter herself—though much poorer, of course... With its whimsical turrets, wooden balconies, and storybook charm, this place looks straight out of a magical adventure. Can you picture Howl landing here with Calcifer’s magic? #HowlsMovingCastle #GhibliVibes #MedievalFantasy #FairytaleTravel #AlsatianTown

The house outside is gorgeous ❤️

It’s incredible how such ancient buildings have been so carefully preserved to this day.

Under renovation during our stay (2023) thus we cannot judge the inside. The outside is gorgeous !

This is one of the most amazing buildings in Colmar. It is located in the old town, surrounded by other beautiful buildings. A hundred meters away is the smallest building in Colmar (or Europe?).

It's nice but it can't be visited.

Busy part of Colmar but some very traditional architecture and overall a beautiful town. You have to go very central to appreciate it!
