The Ministère de la Culture's notice

L'immeuble actuel, après diverses modifications qu'il a subies, notamment aux 17e et 18e siècles, présente, vers la rue des Marchands, une façade se composant d'un rez-de-chaussée massif s'ouvrant par deux arcades, surmonté de trois étages en encorbellement et d'un pignon à deux étages. La façade sur la rue Schongauer a conservé des éléments plus anciens : de l'ancien bâtiment dit Zum Swan (au cygne) datan du commencement du 16e siècle, subsistent, au rez-de-chaussée, deux beaux portails d'entrée, dont l'un a été muré ultérieurement : identiques, ils se composent d'un arc en accolade orné de feuillages et surmonté d'un fleuron. Sur le côté se trouve une grande baie également décorée d'éléments gothiques.

The present building, after various modifications it has undergone, notably in the 17th and 18th centuries, presents, towards the rue des Marchands, a façade consisting of a massive ground floor opening by two arcades, surmounted by three storeys in corbelling and a gable with two storeys. The façade on the rue Schongauer has preserved older elements: from the former building known as Zum Swan (the swan) dating from the beginning of the 16th century, there remain, on the ground floor, two fine entrance portals, one of which was later walled up: identical, they consist of an ogee arch decorated with foliage and surmounted by a finial. On the side is found a large opening also decorated with Gothic elements.
