For all visitors who use the northern entrance to the castle, the path leads directly over the former northern bastion to the tower.
Built in 1478 by the well-known master builder Hans Jakob von Ettlingen, the witch's tower used to serve as an advanced gun turret for the north-western flank protection of the castle.
Originally built as a four-storey building, the lower two storeys were filled in in the course of the seventeenth century.
