Step into the eerie world of medieval justice at the Museum of Torture and Torture Law, nestled in the reconstructed cellar spaces of Český Krumlov Town Hall. This unique exhibition spans 400 m², showcasing around 100 exhibits, including infamous instruments like the Spanish Boot, Iron Maiden, and Pillories. The atmosphere is further enhanced by wax figures, sound effects, and two special audiovisual experiences: the burning of a witch and execution by axe.
As you explore, you'll encounter various tools for horrific punishments, such as forceps for pulling nails, crushers for fingers, suffocating masks, and the Iron Virgin. The exhibition also features prison cells with wax figures chained to stocks, offering a vivid glimpse into the past. Witness dramatic scenes like a witch burning or execution by sword, and see a battlefield model where ravens peck at fallen soldiers.
The tour concludes in the cellar, leaving you in a central location perfect for further exploration of Český Krumlov.
