    If you want to get a little scary, the hangman's house in Bernau is the first choice. And with only one euro entry!

        Picturesquely situated on the city wall, the roof covered in ivy, visitors to Bernau will find a single, old house near the place where the mill gate stood until 1884. This is the hangman's house, the former executioner's house in Bernau. Hence the three gallows birds on the signpost, and why the house is so secluded, because who would want to live next door to the hangman, especially since he also had to fulfill the duties of the knacker in 40 surrounding communities.

        The house dates back to the 17th century. After many years of restoration, you can now admire how it looked after its conversion and expansion in the 19th century. Since 1976 the house has been a department of the local museum.
