1572

sepia scenes
Scene from la Petite France in Strasbourg, taken about two months ago. As stated at the entrance, this building has been there for a long time, click here for a colorful and current picture. The sepia effect was applied using free software from the net. Upload, select sepia effect, save.

La Maison des Tanneurs, also known as "Gerwerstub", was built in 1572. Formerly a tannery - it became a restaurant in 1949 and was restored in 1972 for its 4th century anniversary. From their website.
