Since 1734, the remains of death row inmates have been attached to the gallows here. The Geregt van Oosterhout remained in use until 1803. The location of the gallows is indicated by three red posts.

Crazy idea when you walk here that so many years ago people were sentenced to death here. There are information panels with information.

The place is hard to find. It's in a corner of the Pigeon Tower.
