The astronomical clock, with astrolabe dial, comes from the Historical Museum for which it was made in 1904 by the firm Hörz in Ulm, Germany. It is a copy of the clock built for the Ulm Town Hall in 1581 by the Swiss Isaac Habrecht.
The square tower, built to house the city archives, was also occupied by the treasury, the office and the chancellor's secretary's quarters. The municipal archives were kept here until they were transferred to the Historical Museum building at the beginning of the 20th century.
The Alsatian Museum was set up in this building in 1972 to present the collections of folk arts and traditions previously kept in the Historical Museum.
