Legend has it that the city was founded by the giant Sletto. The first written record dates back to the 8th century, but the site was then part of the village of Kintzheim. The expansion of the city began in the 11th century, when Hildegarde de Buren, mother of the first of the Hohenstaufen, founded a church there which was occupied from 1094 by monks from Conques, venerating Sainte Foy. This priory runs the city until Frederick II of Hohenstaufen grants the status of free city to S\u00e9lestat. Power then gradually passed to the bourgeois. S\u00e9lestat prospered, became a member of the decapolis, enlarged its fortifications, received monastic orders and traded. The Renaissance marks the glorious period of the city which becomes a capital of humanism. His school became famous throughout Europe. The Reformation, the Peasants\u2019 War and the Thirty Years War mark the decline of S\u00e9lestat. After the Treaty of Westphalia, like the rest of Alsace, the city became French. New ramparts were built by Vauban and S\u00e9lestat became a garrison town. The city then found a certain prosperity, but its expansion remained limited to the benefit of the other large cities of Alsace. Its history then follows that of the region.<\/p>\n

The Humanist Library<\/strong> : it is now housed in a former wheat exchange from the 19th century. The library that belonged to Beatus Rhenanus, bequeathed to the city, is presented there, which represents more than 3000 documents (manuscripts, incunabula and printed matter) covering a period ranging from the 7th to the 16th century. This museum is almost unique in Europe. The library has been completely renovated and reopened in 2019 with a new highlighting of books, in a superb setting.<\/p>\n
