About the location

Parc du Centre Hospitalier

27 rue du 4e Spahis Marocains, 68250 Rouffach

Haut-Rhin
Grand Est

This suburban hospital built from 1905 under the direction of the architect Hermann Graf, coming from the school of architecture of Munich, and inaugurated in 1909, was considered for a long time as a model of its kind. In the park, from which the drawing of paths draws inspiration from ramifications of the human brain, 47 detached houses(flags) are divided around the church and administrative buildings(ships). Among the numerous remarkable, coniferous trees and shrubs with flowers, during a botanical route(course), several rare sorts(species) and palm trees of more than 50 years are distinguished.
