City Executioner's House in Salzburg: photos, reviews

About

Far from people, secluded from the world and all its temptations, lies the house of the City Executioner, as if branded by time and the very heavens to be an eternal hermit. However, the place in the center of a small square in Salzburg is hard to call frightening, as the tourist path here doesn't grow over at any time of the year. Today, the former dwelling of the stern and silent executor of others' fates is inhabited by a family of a psychotherapist, who vehemently denies the fact that this was once indeed the "residence" of the city's executioner. The two-story house is surrounded by a low fence and is designed in a simple, as befits, style without any frills, unchanged since the times when witches were burned at the stake and sinners were tortured and thrown into ponds with stones tied around their necks.
