Die Eiserne Jungfrau

April 1 - November 1

At Schloss Kyburg

Illnau-Effretikon

"everything in here is so accessible and touchable"
"great view from the top of the tower"
Steep hike up from the valley, or easy route via Kyburg village

The Iron Maiden at Kyburg Castle is a total fake, and that's exactly the point. This special exhibit unpacks how a forged torture device became the castle's star attraction, then contrasts the myth with the real torture of the Landvogt era.
