About this audio guide
This guide to the Salle du Corps de Garde in Colmar follows the guards, magistrates and traders who all worked inside one building on the cathedral square. It traces the site from a medieval chapel and its ossuary through the guardhouse raised here in the fifteen seventies, and the sculpted Renaissance loggia added soon after. You will hear how three very different jobs once shared the same address, within earshot of each other every working day.
