Description

Suspended within the 130m long wooden structure is a woven fabric cocoon for visitors to walk into and learn about fate of the 77 women and 14 men who were executed in this area between 1600 and 1692. The biography and sentence of each one of them are displayed and there are 91 tiny window openings in the wall with single light bulbs: one for each of those who had to die.
