The Voodoo Castle is a unique museum, hosting the largest private collection of West African Voodoo objects in the world.
All the objects presented were used in religious practices: ancestor worship, medicine, divination, birth, witchcraft or other events related to major stages of life. Discover a little-known culture and a philosophy of life that is still widely practised today.
The collection, which originates from Ghana, Benin, Togo and Nigeria, reveals its secrets in an exceptional setting : an 1878 water tower.
The collection of over 1200 objects belongs to the founders of the museum: Marc and Marie Luce Arbogast. The day-to-day running of the place is managed by the non-profit association "Friends of the Strasbourg Vodou Museum"
