The approximately 42-meter-high Witches' Tower is the landmark of the town of Idstein and a real eye-catcher. Originally built as a butter churn tower, it served as the keep of the medieval Idstein Castle. Today, it attracts visitors with its striking silhouette and fascinating history—including dark legends from the time of the witch hunts.
