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.

The ratings and reviews below reflect the subjective opinions of members and not the opinion of The Little Witty.
Man lernt etwas über Folter im Mittelalter (auch hier) und über den späteren Umgang damit.
Außerdem natürlich einiges über Riquewihr, auch im Ersten Weltkrieg, und über die Soldaten aus dem Elsass.
Weiterhin gibt es eine Fassbinder/Böttcher-Werkstatt und einen Weinkeller (in dem es allerdings keinen Wein gibt).
Wir kommen bei jedem Besuch in der Stadt hierher, weil es einfach schön ist...
