Devil's Tower

This tower owes its name to its function as a prison for people accused of witchcraft in the 15th century. Built in the 13th century as part of the episcopal castle, it was later incorporated into the city's fortifications and connected to the rampart walk. In the 19th century, the city converted it into workers' housing, adding a gallery and a wooden staircase to access the upper floors. Destroyed by a fire in 1904, it was restored and raised in 1906, but its current appearance differs from that of the original tower, which had only three floors. The old prison door, covered with graffiti left by inmates, is now displayed at the Historical Museum.
