The Écomusée d'Alsace is an open-air museum north of Mulhouse where traditional Alsatian houses, barns, workshops, and farm buildings have been reassembled into a walkable village. It is one of the best places in the region to see half-timbered architecture as lived space rather than postcard frontage.
The museum suits families and architecture lovers alike, with demonstrations, animals, gardens, and seasonal events adding life to the buildings. It is outside central Mulhouse, so plan transport rather than treating it as a casual stroll. Allow several hours if you want to move beyond the surface charm.
