Always worth a visit. Always new things to know, very friendly and patient at the entrance (explanations of the hygiene concept, data protection ...). Thank you and gladly again 👍🏻

Great place! Very interesting and well laid out. Nearly everything in English as well, and staff able to answer questions. Worth it for sure.

This museum was much more interesting than I thought it would be, and most placards were in multiple languages (mostly German and English, but sometimes others as well). I thought it was going to be all about torture, but it was also about how laws and punishment have evolved over time, and about some facets of general life in the medieval times. It's really interesting how public shaming was a method to punish lesser crimes.
