Cerestat Humanist Library

About

The knowledge held within the books Beatus Rhenanus gathered over a lifetime seeps between the layered wooden bookshelves, following the visitor's breath along with the flow of time. The ideas held by Louis Dringenberg, who led humanist education, and his successors, still live on in this space. This space, where the school library and the personal library become one, serves as a bridge carrying the knowledge of the past into the hearts of today. Walking between the bookshelves feels like stepping into the quiet ground where the spirit of humanism unfolds. The knowledge held within Beatus Rhenanus's books still fills the air of his hometown, Sélestat.
