Turckheim is a commune in the Haut-Rhin department in Grand Est, northeastern France. It is situated in the historical and cultural region of Alsace, approximately 7 kilometers (4.3 mi) west of Colmar, on the Alsatian Wine Route.
Historically, Turckheim is notable as the site of the Battle of Turckheim, which took place on January 5, 1675, during the Franco-Dutch War. French forces under Marshal Turenne decisively defeated an army of the Holy Roman Empire, securing French control over Alsace.
The town retains much of its medieval character, including significant portions of its 13th-century ramparts and three well-preserved gates: the Porte de France, the Porte du Brand, and the Porte de Munster. Turckheim is also known for its picturesque old town, half-timbered houses, and its role as a significant wine-producing village along the Alsace Wine Route, particularly known for its Gewürztraminer and Pinot Gris wines.
Today, Turckheim is a popular tourist destination, attracting visitors with its historical charm, wine cellars, and its unique night watchman who performs a traditional round through the town from May to October.
