Largest gate tower in the town wall of Themar from 1603

The Witches„ Tower was built in 1603 and is the most impressive tower of the original 7 towers and 3 roundels of the almost completely preserved town wall of Themar. In the 17th century, alleged “witches" were arrested here, locked in irons, tortured and forced to confess. Today there is a gallery in the tower keeper's house.

50 m further on, where the town wall borders the Werra, the small Werrawiesenturm was built on the wall. Here, the town of Themar has set up a caravan site on Mauerstraße outside the town wall on the Werra.
