Parc Richmond is located on Rue du Maréchal Foch, near a section of the old ramparts of Andlau. Here stands the Tour des Sorcières, a remnant of the village's medieval defensive structures. The tower dates back to the 15th century and later also served as a prison.
The name Tour des Sorcières, or Witches' Tower, naturally sparks the imagination. Whether witches were actually imprisoned here is another story; the name primarily refers to the historical association with witchcraft and persecution in Alsace.
From here, you also get a beautiful view of old Andlau and the village's location among the vineyards.
