Welttag der Fremdenführer - Festungsführung 'Hexen, Gerichtsbarkeit und Folter'

Witches and torture, both terms are somehow connected - when one thinks of witches, one envisions torture chambers and pyres. Not in the dark Middle Ages, but in the early modern period was the peak of witch persecution - also in Tyrol! Who was convicted as a "witch" and why? What methods of torture were used? Fortress tour on the topic of witches, jurisdiction, and torture The World Guide Day supports a good cause with voluntary donations. All donations go directly to "Light in the Darkness - Immediate Aid Tyrol"! Registration for all tours is absolutely required! • www.austriaguides.tirol by no later than 20.2.2026 at 14:00 • on-site, subject to availability (limited number of participants)
