Rouffach

Rouffach (pop. 4,187), a town of farmers, has remains of its old town walls and many handsome old burghers' houses. The church of Notre-Dame de l'Assomption, built between the 12th and 14th centuries, shows the transition from Romanesque to Gothic; its three towers were restored in the 19th C Opposite the church is the Renaissance Town Hall (16th C), and adjoining this are the Tour des Sorcières (Witches' Tower) and the Cornmarket. North of the town, on the Rehberg, is the castle of Isenburg, built in 1880 on the foundations of a stronghold of the Merovingian and Frankish kings.
