Documented age: Medieval (recreated) (Medieval design). Current condition: restored. A medieval labyrinth recreation in Selestat, Alsace — a small city that played an outsized role in European intellectual history as the home of the Humanist Library, one of the oldest public libraries in Europe (founded 1452). The labyrinth pattern occurs nowhere in nature; every documented instance traces back to a human hand. The labyrinth is one of several hundred sites of this type catalogued globally; each preserves the same unicursal walking-pattern with regional variation in scale, material, and date.
The labyrinth tradition spans at least 4,000 years of documented practice across northern Europe, the Mediterranean, the British Isles, North America, and the Indian subcontinent.
