Old house with Oriel, Riquewihr, Alsace, France

This house comprises two buildings: on the left, the gate dates back to 1565; on the right, the façade has an elegant two-storey oriel. An inscription in Old High German on the west side of the oriel, commemorates the 2nd elevation of the house in 1709 and recalls that, that year, the vines and many fruit trees were killed by severe frosts that occured throughout Europe.
