The Scharfrichter Museum is located in the center of downtown Pottenstein. The museum stands out with its bright red color and outside décor. The building holds a Middle Age executioner exhibition, and although it is a small museum, it has a wide variety of torture devices people used during that time.
You will be taken aback by the devices that were created and implemented to bring the utmost excruciating pain to those who had to endure the agony. The werewolf skull that they have on exhibit will be interesting to those that love legends and mythology. If you are interested in oddity museums this is definitely the place for you.
