Historical Nighttime Storytelling Walk: "At the Bonfire"

Eager for a timeless experience? How about embarking on a nocturnal wander into the heart of Alsatian legends? In the stillness of the night, the city of Molsheim suddenly awakens from its long slumber to tell a dark and shocking story: the ancient witchcraft trials.

June 14, 1630 is a date engraved in Molsheim's collective memory. Young Peter, aged just 11, is brought before the town's dreaded court, accused of a mystical crime: witchcraft. In an age when the supernatural is feared and misunderstood, the verdict falls, merciless: the boy must be put to death.

Apollonia, dressed in a woollen robe and wearing a white toque, will guide you on this dark journey. Wife of one of the judges, she is a privileged witness to the fever that has gripped the city. Along the cobblestone streets, she accurately depicts the cruel process of judgment. From unfounded accusations to death, via unimaginable tortures, she reveals the secrets of this era when fear ruled justice.

For adults and teenagers only, this storytelling stroll by Contesse Luciole will plunge you into the heart of the Molshmian mentality of the 17th century. A dark era when 76 souls, including 34 children, were sacrificed on the altar of superstition between 1589 and 1697. With an immersive narrative, the Contesse will seek to elucidate this tragic chapter in history, trying to understand how such collective hysteria could have spread.

So, are you ready for a chilling adventure? Let yourself be guided by the glow of a lantern and dare to plunge into the depths of Molsheim! La Contesse Luciole awaits you for a nocturnal stroll that will remain etched in your memory.
