Unique in the world: The Sélestat humanist library – which has been inscribed in the Unesco’s Memory of the World Register in 2011 – hosts conferences on medieval books
This abbey has been home to the King’s Lieutenants, barracks for military governors, and finally was the abode of a Baron of the Empire. Tucked away at the foot of the Alsatian vineyards, this now hotel has travelled through time, collecting secrets along the way. The light bedrooms are very comfortable and owners Christiane and Pascal Funaro are warm and welcoming. Food lovers can choose between two places to dine: Le Prieuré, with its sophisticated creations, and the Apfelstuebel, a traditional Alsace-style Winstub, serving up typical country fare. The Sélestat humanist library – which has been inscribed in the Unesco’s Memory of the World Register in 2011 – hosts conferences on medieval books.
