The 18-metre-high Thieves' Tower was a prison and seat of justice where life was unpleasant

Built in 1335, the 18-metre-high Tour des Voleurs (Thieves' Tower) lives up to its name, as it was a prison in the 14th century and the seat of justice until the 18th century. Torture chamber, trapdoor, dungeon, interrogation room with torture instruments - this was not a good place to live, and thieves didn't come out unscathed. The Thieves' Tower adjoins a winegrower's house dating back to the 16th century. Furniture, kitchen utensils and wine-making tools are on display. Allow around 45 minutes for the tour.

Cette jolie tour si situe en haut de la rue principale du village. on y bénéficie d'une jolie vue sur Riquewihr. Le village, très pittoresque, est typiquement alsacien et se visite à chaque fois avec le même émerveillement

Un endroit à visiter, dans un charmant petit village alsacien, de rues pavées étroites, aux maisons colorées, entouré de vignes de part et d'autres. N'hésitez pas à profiter des fêtes de Noel pour y voir les décorations, et les différents marchés (spécialités locales, artisanat...)

En Alsace, n'oubliez pas de passer par Riquewhir qui est un des plus jolis villages de France. Profitez-en pour visiter La tour des voleurs. Cette tour était devenue l’une des prisons de la ville, on y enfermait les malfrats. À l'intérieur de la première pièce se trouve la chambre des tortures avec les instruments authentiques de torture. Pensez aussi à jeter un oeil aussi sur l'oubliette impressionnante...

Bel endroit d'époque dans ce merveilleux petit village. Alors bien sûr ce n'est pas un site d'envergure mais ça a son charme
