Medieval Crime Museum

Such a cool experience. I could have easily spent another 2 hours here reading more. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area.

Unique museum that's well done. Small, clean, and informative. It really puts the judicial system history into perspective.

They got enough things to show, would probably take you a good hour or more depending on how fast you are going through the things. It was 6.50€ for students and I think around 9.50€ for adults. For a person who likes to know more about how things were back then it would be interesting. One great thing is that almost all the things in the museum has an english text so it is definitely tourist friendly. Some of the things are replicas and some of them are real. They have a huge collection of torture devices and things that are related to criminals back then. Would recommend it if you like these types of museums!

In a town full of history, there is this very complete museum of medieval torture which has an amazing collection of old "law" books and explains with great detail and the help of objects how "justice" was applied at the middle age. The way out is well displayed, no worries, you won't get lost.

I went with my family, and it was more interesting than described as it included the entire history of law, justice, punishment, torture, etc.

The receptionist speaks good English. The place is well maintained and all article history is also written in English. They have clean toilets as well inside. The exit although is very confusing, they need to add more signs for exit.

Very cool museum. 3 levels full of displays and descriptions offered in english as well.

We entered this museum near the closing time. So we didn't have much time in hand to explore the whole museum thoroughly. But whatever we saw there, it was an amazing experience. Because as a crime thriller movie and story geek, when I read and watch about the tortures and punishments of the mediaeval times, all of those are properly collected and preserved here. I wish we could have some more time. If you ever decide to visit Rothenburg, I suggest you to make time for visiting this museum if you're interested in these.
