The small historic pest house was most likely built as a garden house in 1591 and is now rented out as a holiday home. So vacation in the historic "pest house"

Beautiful turret (from 1591) that is said to have been used as a care station for plague sufferers. But it is probably a fairy tale and actually it was either a canon's garden house or the executioner's house
