    The Witches Tower has a long history that goes back to the 12th century, when a moated castle still stood here. In the 17th century the witch commissioners raged here, arresting and executing people accused of witchcraft. Today the Hexenturm can be rented for celebrations with up to 30 people.

    Nice corner with half-timbered buildings, the Hexenturm and Rheinbach Castle.
    The four-storey, double-shell Romanesque round tower was built from rubble stones in the twelfth century. A dating of the castle complex to the second half of the twelfth century is supported by a dendrochronological determination of an oak toilet seat in the tower for the year 1175.

    The diameter of the tower is 9 meters, its height 34.5 meters and the wall thickness is 2.2 meters. There are two toilets on the ground floor, and on the third floor there is a historic wall chimney and a wall opening to the battlement of the former city wall. The tower is a listed building.
