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.

Netter junger Mann an der Kasse. Erst läuft man über den alten Wehrgang in den Turm, der ein ehemaliges Gefängnis ist. Ausstellung ist mehrsprachig gut beschrieben. Besonders gefallen hat mir, dass der Rückweg durch ein altes Winzerhaus erfolgte. Hier sah man die Utensilien eines Fassküfers und bekam per Video die Arbeiten erklärt.

Petit musée très intéressant avec divers pièces comme la salle de torture, maison du vigneron
Dommage que le musée du Dolder était fermé (visite avec billet groupé)
Donc inutile d acheter les billets à l'avance

Very old and historical building. One room pertaining to the tourture method and another showing some devices. Then there are some rooms regarding the history of the building and area. Not very much to see but interesting. The town is very old and beautiful.
