Foltermuseum auf der Burg zu Burghausen, Medieval torture museum in Burghausen Castle, Germany

The Torture Museum displays historical instruments and devices used for interrogation and punishment within the walls of Europe's longest castle complex.

The museum, established in 1986, occupies the former executioner's tower where the last execution took place in 1831 at Burghausen Castle.

The exhibition spans multiple floors, including the torture chamber, dungeon, and death cell, documenting the evolution of judicial practices through centuries.

The museum opens daily from 9 AM to 6 PM between March and October, and from 10 AM to 4 PM during winter months.

Peter Fischer curates this collection of reconstructed torture instruments across five levels of the medieval tower, illustrating historical interrogation methods.
