Musée Atger

The Musée Atger (Boulevard Henri IV) has drawings by French and Italian masters from the Baroque period on display. The impressive building was originally a bishop's palace belonging to the Abbey of St-Bênoit (14th and 16th C.); since the French Revolution it has been the seat of the Faculté de Médicine, founded in 1221. The Maison d'Heidelberg (Center Culturel Franco-Allemand) is also housed here.

To the north of the museum stands the Tour des Pins, a relic of the medieval city fortifications.
