Tour du Diable, Medieval fortified tower in Mulhouse, France
The Tour du Diable stands as a stone defensive structure with multiple levels, featuring thick walls and architectural elements from the 13th century.
Built in 1222 as part of the city fortifications, the tower underwent reconstruction in the early 15th century and received official monument status in 1929.
The tower served as a detention facility during the 15th-century witch trials, which influenced its current name meaning Devil's Tower in French.
Located on Rue de la Tour-du-Diable, the monument sits near the Musée Historique and remains accessible through guided tours from the city center.
The structure experienced a fire in 1904 but underwent restoration and height extension in 1906 alongside the neighboring Nessel Tower.
