This museum is small and only takes about 15 minutes to go through but it has a beautiful view and is very interesting.

Strafvollzug im "Mittelalter" anhand der Aufzeichnungen des Scharfrichters Schmidt kurz und prägnant auf Schautafeln erklärt. Über das Wirken und Leben der Nürnberger Scharfrichter gibt es auch eine recht gute Fernsehdokumentation. Für Geschichtsinteressierte auf jeden Fall interessant.

Schönes kleines Museum über das Leben von einem Henker und seiner Familie und was es für Strafen gab.
