The thieves' or witches' tower on the Schiffländi in Stein am Rhein has been documented since 1548. The tower was probably built in the 14th century. The original crenellation was later converted into windows.
The witch tower, a city dungeon and south-western end of the city wall, was used as a prison until the 1800s.
