About this audio guide
This guide to Adolph House in Colmar starts at an unlikely detail bolted to its wall: a Renaissance well crowned with two carved lion heads and a coat of arms unrelated to the house. It traces the well back to a private courtyard on Rue des Marchands in the fifteen nineties, and forward to the nineteen thirty-one move that brought it here, alongside the separate story of the ribbon maker whose name the house itself now carries. Listen for how two unrelated relics, a well and a Gothic house, ended up sharing one address.
