The Hexenturm in Heidelberg is a tower, which translated means The Witch Tower. It was built in the western part of the old town in 1392. It was used as a prison for women and witches. It has been remarkably preserved considering its age. It is now owned by the university, and acts as a memorial to those killed in World War 1. Visitors are not usually permitted to go inside the tower, but can wander freely around it and up to it.
