The Witches' Tower in Reichelsheim was part of the city fortifications and dates back to the 15th century. The round tower is not particularly tall. A special feature is the ground-level access to the tower.

The witch tower is part of the medieval city fortifications. The name comes from the time of the witch trials, which claimed at least 58 victims in Reichelsheim. The accused of witchcraft and sorcery are said to have been incarcerated in the tower during their trial.
