The tower was formerly 5-storey and served from the end of the 16th century as a city dungeon. As part of the Inquisition, 63 women were imprisoned here between 1589-92, tortured and then burned - hence "witch's tower".

Feichelturm also called Hexenturm - not much of it can be seen anymore

A worthy place to commemorate all the victims that the more than questionable witch trials claimed within a few years.
