The Witches of Alsace have arrived...

The Witches of Bergheim... The small town devotes a museum to the local girls condemned by public rumour to die at the stake.

Alsace is now rediscovering this shameful period of its history...

Les Sorcières de Bergheim

Prodigies and superstitions, historical anecdotes and diableries: Alsace, a land of legends, where the darkest tales and the most magical myths exist side by side.

Like other regions of the Empire, Alsace did not escape this infernal hunt and experienced an unprecedented outburst of violence and cruelty rarely seen elsewhere.

Several thousand Alsatian women were accused of having sold their souls and bodies to the Devil and were handed over to a ruthless justice system on simple denunciation.
