    The witch tower was built in the years 1411-1415. In the 17th century the fortified tower was converted into a prison for women accused of witchcraft. According to available archival sources, 18 women were executed here. The first trial for witchcraft took place in 1651 and its victims were the courtiers of Duchess Anna de Croy – Scholastyka and Runga. The last victim of the Holy Inquisition was a servant of Rowy - Anna Kosbad. She was executed in 1714. The tower is one of the oldest architectural monuments of Slupsk.

      Error - when witches were burned at the stake for witchcraft - Lutheran Protestantism was the only religion in the Duchy of Pomerania for over a century ... that's why the Holy Inquisition did not judge witches, but the city council in Słupsk ... it was a common practice in the 17th century in Pomerania - only Junker Glassenaap personally convicted to the death of 16 witches near Bobolice
