Anna Göldi Museum

In 1782, Glarus gained international fame when the maid Anna Göldi became the victim of an intrigue. Falsely accused of infanticide, she was the last witch in Europe to be executed. A judicial murder.

In the historic Hänggiturm in Ennenda, the story of Anna Göldi is brought to life in a modern exhibition. The focus is on the exceptionally well-documented trial and its historical and political background. Around the centerpiece are several thematic islands – witchcraft, the network of power, enlightenment, journalism, the culture of remembrance and rehabilitation.

In addition, temporary exhibitions and events provide a link to current issues relating to the rule of law and human rights, a central concern of the Anna Göldi Foundation.
