    It is always impressively beautiful, no matter from which side you approach the castle and the witch's tower. A beautiful sight that does not correspond to the usual photos of the Marburg Castle.

    The Witches Tower (White Tower) is located northwest of the high castle.
    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.
