Strasbourg (Bas-Rhin). Mur d’enceinte – place Sainte-Madeleine / rue du Fossé des Orphelins

A comprehensive study of the medieval and modern defensive wall at Strasbourg's Grande Île, specifically focusing on the section at place Sainte-Madeleine / rue du Fossé des Orphelins, has revealed significant insights into its architectural evolution. The research, conducted between 2018-2019, utilized multi-phase analysis to document the wall's structure, which is primarily visible from its interior face due to adjacent school buildings obscuring the exterior. Key findings include detailed observations of the wall's construction techniques and historical layers, providing critical data for ongoing restoration efforts on this Monument historique. The study highlights the importance of preserving such structures while offering a deeper understanding of Strasbourg's defensive architecture.
