Fodor's Expert Review City History Museum
Breisach
This small museum offers a 4,000-year journey through the history of a typical Rhine river town, from the early settlements through the Middle Ages up to a sobering exhibition describing the bombardment that destroyed nearly 90% of Breisach during WWII. The museum is housed in a 17th-century edifice built according to designs by Vauban, France's renowned military architect under Louis XIV.
