Visitors to the castle can find the Burghausen Torture Museum in the old henchman or torture tower at the castle in Burghausen. The small museum makes its guests shudder and think back to the time when torturing people was completely normal.
The former torture chamber is on the ground floor of the museum. Underneath was once the dungeon, which was only separated from the torture chamber by a grate. On the first floor, a corridor leads to the witches' tower, on the second floor guests of the torture museum discover the death cell, in which there is a wooden bunk and an oven. The torturers could operate the oven from outside.
The last execution took place at Burghausen Castle in 1831.
The Burghausen Torture Museum is run privately. Almost all of the exhibits are replicas, since almost no instruments of torture have survived from Burghausen Castle.
Interested parties can obtain information on admission prices, group rates and opening hours on site.
