An unusual visit in Strasbourg: the Voodoo Castle
In Strasbourg, some visits are truly out of the ordinary. Just a few minutes from the train station, the Vodou Museum welcomes you to a former 19th-century water tower.
This unique venue houses one of the largest private collections of objects related to African Vodou in Europe.
An exceptional collection to admire with family or on your own!
From the moment you enter, you will be captivated by the unique atmosphere of the Vodou Castle, a blend of history, spirituality, and ethnography.
An opportunity to discover a culture that is still often misunderstood and sometimes misinterpreted in the West.
The Vodou Castle brings together more than 1,000 objects, primarily from West Africa (Benin, Togo, Ghana).
The statues, masks, and ritual objects bear witness to the richness and diversity of Vodou practices.
Each element is carefully staged and accompanied by educational explanations that allow for a better understanding of the associated beliefs and symbols.
Far from clichés, the experience is a veritable treasure trove of resources dedicated to African spiritual traditions.
The museum's experience stands out thanks to its innovative scenography, which combines lighting effects, video projections, and soundscapes.
We also recommend renting an immersive headset to experience Vodou rituals during your visit!
This staging makes the visit captivating and accessible to both children and adults.
