Schwaigern - Germany, Baden-Württemberg idyllic looking place with a gruesome history. The tower was used as a jail, at the beginning of the 18th century a woman was imprisoned here who got burnt as a 'witch'.

mistybleu - Aug, 13 2011 07:08am How interesting. What is it used for now? pesu - Aug, 13 2011 07:08am Amanda, the house seems to be inhabited but the tower is closed and not used any longer - fortunately! We might have been in danger, otherwise... ;-) (See in my travel log who has been with me there.) eirekay - Aug, 15 2011 04:08pm I'm not used to see this style in red and white - is there any significance? pesu - Aug, 15 2011 04:08pm Eire, it's one of the countless old half-timbered houses in Germany. The colouring depends on the owner's liking. :) jacko1 - Sep, 16 2011 06:09am It seems to in remarkably good condition for it's age, nice info with this pic!
