The 18-metre-high Thieves' Tower was a prison and seat of justice where life was unpleasant

Built in 1335, the 18-meter-high Tour des Voleurs is aptly named, as it was a prison in the 14th century, and the seat of justice until the 18th century. Torture chamber, trapdoor, dungeon, interrogation room with torture instruments... This was not a good place to live, and thieves didn't come out unscathed... if at all! The Thieves' Tower adjoins a winegrower's house dating back to the 16th century. Furniture, kitchen utensils and wine-making tools are on display. Allow around 45 minutes for your visit.

Es war einfach beeindruckend zumal alles sehr gepflegt und gut erhalten ist. Man erkennt die Liebe zum Detail und sorgsame Arbeit. Man selbst geht durch die Räume, die Treppenaufgänge mit den schon sehr abgelaufenen Stufen und denkt bei sich, was würden diese jahrhundertealten Dinge wohl erzählen?
Tolles kleines Stück Geschichte ????

Very interesting. The only negative is there are a lot of narrow, very steep stairs to climb up and down. The content was very interesting.

Jolie visite où l'on apprend la (dure) vie d'avant. Âme sensible s'abstenir ; la salle des tortures et ses objets font froid dans le dos. Peu adapté aux tous petits enfants car escaliers escarpés.

Le lieu en lui même est très beau et intéressant, il permet dans apprendre un peu plus sur l'histoire de la tour ou même des vignerons, des tonneliers ou sur la reprise de l'Alsace. Pour le prix de la visite (5€) je recommande !
