Medieval Crime Museum, Rothenburg

A museum of legal history covering roughly a thousand years of European justice, housed in a former Johanniter commandery. Its collection of punishment instruments, shame masks, and witch-trial records explains how medieval law judged, shamed, and corrected, rather than staging a torture spectacle.
