Tour des Voleurs
This defensive tower (early 14th century) became one of the town's prisons, the seat of seigneurial justice when Riquewihr belonged to the Württemberg family. You can visit:
- the torture chamber with trapdoor and oubliette,
- the guard room, where you can watch the interrogations, with a collection of torture instruments.

Winegrower's house
The thieves' tower communicates with a 16th-century winegrower's house. Highlights include:
- the kitchen with its antique utensils,
- the bedroom with its furniture,
- the cellar and storeroom, with various tools recalling the work of the winegrower and cooper (with video).
