About
The Anabaptist cages are three iron cages hanging high on the tower of St. Lambert’s Church in Münster, Germany.
In 1536, after the brutal suppression of a radical Anabaptist rebellion that briefly turned the city into a theocratic commune, the corpses of the movement’s executed leaders were displayed in these cages as a grim warning.
The cages have remained on the church ever since and are now a haunting historical monument. At night, each cage is softly lit from within, casting an eerie glow that recalls their dark past.
