Neuf-Brisach: Designed To Be An ‘Ideal City’ In The 17th Century
Neuf-Brisach(means New Breisach) is a fortified town and commune of the department of Haut-Rhin in Alsace, France. Designed by the military engineer Vauban, the fortified town was intended to guard the border between France and the Holy Roman Empire and, subsequently, the German states. It was built after the Treaty of Ryswick in 1697 that resulted in France losing the town of Breisach, on the opposite bank of the Rhine. The town’s layout was that of an ‘ideal city’, as was popular at the time, with a regular square grid street pattern inside an octagonal fortification.
