Republic Square

The building to the left of the pharmacy is the Hôtel du Préteur Royal, the representative of the King of France. It was built at the end of the 18th century for the Préteur Royal Jean Philippe Antoine de Cointoux ,. It was responsible for directing the affairs of the city of Haguenau which had then lost its status as a city free of empire.
After the French Revolution and until 1955, this building housed the Town Hall and the District Court. It is on this square that the main cultural and folklore events of the City take place such as the Hop Festival, the Humor of Notes, the Christmas Market.
