Cour du Corbeau Hotel Strasbourg - MGallery Collection
6-8 Rue des Couples, 67000 Strasbourg
Renaissance coaching-inn courtyard where royalty once lodged and stained-glass artisans later worked for over a century.
This guide to the Cour du Corbeau Hotel in Strasbourg follows this courtyard from 1528, when it opened as one of the city's grandest coaching inns, hosting incognito royalty from Frederick the Great to a Swedish general and a Polish king. It traces the moment in 1852 when the travelers stopped coming and two brothers named Ott moved in instead, turning the half-timbered galleries into a stained-glass workshop that restored windows still glowing across Alsace today. It follows that workshop through more than a century of furnace smoke, until the Otts closed their doors in 1982.
