    Wikipedia sums it up pretty well: The House of the Seven Vices is a listed half-timbered house from the 16th century in the old town of Limburg an der Lahn, the facade of which is adorned with carvings, commonly referred to as the seven biblical vices of pride, envy, inappropriateness , Avarice, lust, anger and indolence can be interpreted.

    The "House of the Seven Vices" is a listed half-timbered house from 1567. The facade of the medieval, well-renovated half-timbered house is decorated with unique carvings (heads). These represent the seven biblical vices:
    • Pride
    • Envy
    • Intemperance
    • Avarice
    • Lust
    • Anger
    • Sloth
    It is considered most likely that the carved heads were made in 1567 when the property was being renovated to ward off evil spirits.
