Praetorian

The facade is adorned with "sgraffiti," prominent among them the allegory of justice, holding scales, singularly without a blindfold over his eyes, and that of moderateness or temperance, mixing water with wine. Above the entrance gate is the coat of arms of the valley court. Trials took place in the Praetorium, and if you were found guilty you would first end up in the pillory, still visible to the right of the entrance, and then in the dungeon, behind the round tower.

The tower, dating from medieval times, is located behind the Praetorium, it was used as a place for torture. In earlier times several "witches" were tortured here. Even today one shudders at the instruments of torture. Executions used to take place in the Cudin Woods, where the two gallows columns still stand today.

From the end of April to the end of October, the torture room and the Praetorium are open daily from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Guided tours are also possible and take place by appointment. During the guided tour a local person will also talk about local culture and traditions.
