  1. Bibliothèque des Dominicains, Colmar, France.

    The Dominican convent of Colmar was first built around 1300 but most of the current buildings date from the mid 18th century. Following the Revolution, it served as Gendarmerie then teacher's college before becoming the municipal library in 1951. Now it is a research and study library.
