Because of its unusual appearance and deformed beams, this half-timbered house on Schlossgasse is called the “Witch House”. It dates back to the 16th century and is also called the "House of Lies", "Temple of Idols" or "House of Rabbits".

“Lies that make the beams bend.” According to legend, the saying goes back to the crooked house in Colditz at Schlossgasse 4.
