The Barrage Vauban is a water barrage built across the River Ill to regulate the water and protect the city from floods.

The Barrage Vauban is a perfect example of the military architecture of the Baroque era, combining both functionality and beauty. The impressive façade is decorated with statues and sculptures depicting important historical and mythological figures. This masterpiece of fortress architecture was built in the 17th century under the direction of the famous French engineer Sébastien Le Prestre de Vauban.
