Château Musée Vodou
About This Museum
People come to the Château Musée Vodou not just because it's a museum, but because it's one of the most unique and unexpected collections you'll ever stumble upon. Tucked away in Strasbourg, this place is home to over a thousand voodoo artifacts, pulling back the curtain on a spiritual world that's often misunderstood. You'll find everything from intricate beaded flags and powerful-looking statues to altars set up exactly as they would be in practice. It’s an intense, fascinating, and surprisingly beautiful journey that completely changes your perspective.
Collection Highlights
Look for the dazzling sequined flags from Haiti that seem to shimmer with stories, and don't miss the Nkisi power figures—wooden statues studded with nails and shells where every mark is a petition or a promise.
Visitor Information
It's at 4 Rue de Koenigshoffen in Strasbourg, and honestly, just finding the place—a massive old water tower—is part of the fun. Definitely check their website for opening times before you go.
Architecture & Building
The entire collection is housed inside a converted water tower from the 1800s, so it's this incredible mix of stark industrial brick on the outside and a mysterious, atmospheric world within.
