    Witch Tower History
    The Witch Tower stands on the town wall of Rüthen, the only defensive tower on the town fortifications of Rüthen that has been completely preserved to this day. The Witch Tower contains a witch exhibition that can be visited as part of a city tour. In the 17th century, alleged sorcerers and witches were imprisoned, tortured, convicted and beheaded in this tower. A total of 167 people are said to have been innocently convicted. Rüthen was the first town in North Rhine-Westphalia to rehabilitate these innocents; a bronze relief by Bert Gerresheim on the tower commemorates them.

      You almost feel like you're back in time and you feel sorry for the innocent victims.
