Turamichele ("Tower-Michael") is the name of a moving mechanical figure on the Perlach Tower (''
Perlachturm'') next to Perlach church in
Augsburg,
Bavaria,
Germany. It shows the
Archangel Michael fighting with the
devil. Every year on 29 September (
Michaelmas or St. Michael's Day) the Turamichele appears in a window on the west side of the tower. The day is also marked by a big children's party.
