About this audio guide
This guide to Maison Pfister in Colmar opens on a mismatch: the house has carried the Pfister family name since the eighteen hundreds, though that family lived there only briefly. It traces the building to fifteen thirty-seven and the hatter who paid for it, Ludwig Scherer, and follows what his money actually bought, from the stone base to the timber floors and the mural-covered turret added decades later. It also passes through the string of owners between Scherer and the Pfisters.
