Hexenmuseum Schweiz

Since 2009, the Hexenmuseum Schweiz – the museum of witchcraft in Switzerland – lets visitors discover all areas of witchcraft: the history of traditions, magic spells and much more. With over 1,000 objects about the subject, it is the only museum of its kind in the German-speaking part of Europe. This spring, the museum has moved to the castle Liebegg in Graenichen, AG. Lightning stones and dragon tongues, what might that be? Why are mistletoes useful when one feels dizzy? And why do many people think that black cats bring misfortune? The museum of witchcraft can answer all of these questions. The exhibition presents the trialsagainst witches in Switzerland and all over Europe, the impacts of those on modern times and the history of superstition.
