The town hall of Riquewihr used to be right in the middle of village. Alas, it was demolished in 1798. That meant it was time to build a new one, and they picked another good location for it when it went up in 1809. Since a gate was previously on that spot, designers opted to place an arch in the middle of the building.
It's a pretty modern building by Riquewihr standards, but I'm sure it does the job.
