Doesn't this sentence read as though it wasn't Rapunzel but the enchantress that was twelve years old?

They probably tried to stick to the original German too closely. Interestingly, the German text, even though structured the same, is unambiguous because of the choice of pronouns.

When she was twelve years old, the enchantress shut Rapunzel into a tower, which lay in a forest, and had neither stairs nor door, but quite at the top was a little window.
