The Vauban Museum, founded in 1957, is located on the ground floor of the Porte de Belfort, one of the few monuments in the city to have survived the ravages of various conflicts. Spanning two rooms, it presents the history of the city of Neuf-Brisach, Vauban’s work, and its UNESCO designation. A visit here serves as an introduction to exploring the city.
The first room explores the construction of the city during Vauban’s time through two displays: a projection mapping of Vauban’s bust and a reproduction of the 18th-century relief map on display at the Musée des Plans-Reliefs at Les Invalides.
The second room presents the town’s history from its founding through World War II, drawing on the museum’s collections. Two screens showcase the other towns in the Vauban Network, offering a comprehensive overview of Vauban’s entire body of work.
