Hangman
Places
One of the places that I could visit in Lublin was the “Hangman’s House”, which is described as a mysterious place in the center of the city, the house of the town’s hangman.
I went to the Dlugosza Street where the hangman’s house was supposed to be. I noticed a school, but I didn’t see anything that resembled a hangman’s house.
There were lots of pupils. I didn’t feel like asking them: “Excuse me, but where is the hangman’s house?”

Hangman's House
@ArnonHere is some information about the Gallows House (Domek Kata) on Dlugosza street.

I am afraid that children would have been delighted to show you the way to the Hangman’s House.

To avoid all misunderstandings: most children love (tales about) the mysterious and the macabre.Bernard
Most adults too need tales of magic and wonder. Without they can't deal with reality. Infants is what we are. Think of religion . Think of cinema.@Mieke
Yes. Maybe that is the reason why I felt excited to show Arnon the map to and the picture of the this mysterious place. (And why would Arnon go there).

Let's not forget the status of the writer with his tales of the unexpected and the hangman.Little changed since the days of Gizeh and Luxor. The writer came second in esteem after the Farao , their living god.And the Prins of Belgium still thinks that he has a mission to fulfill.
