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?”
