Witches' Tower

This tower, a remnant of the old ramparts, was built in 1411.

It is named after its grim function: serving as a detention place for women accused of witchcraft while awaiting trial.

Its defensive architecture is distinguished by a bulb-shaped roof, added in 1628, as well as openings typical of military constructions of the time: arrow slits and gunports. Today, it proudly stands as the South Gate of the famous Alsace Wine Route, marking the entrance to an iconic tourist trail.
