    The Witches' Tower is the landmark of Babenhausen. It is located in the old town, which is well worth seeing, with remains of the former city wall and beautiful half-timbered houses.
    The Witches' Tower served as a prison in the late Middle Ages. Torture is said to have taken place here, some of which even led to death. There was no evidence of witch burning anywhere in the city, but at least one pillory is said to have been attached to the witch tower.

    And right next to it, the oldest half-timbered house in Babenhausen from 1442.
