A room (prison cel) with a view!

 
Nope, this is not a painting!

 
Walkin' from one room to another...

 
... makes ya VERY thirsty

 
For some idiotic reason, they have put all kinds of modern art around the castle!
 

 
This concludes the castle tour of today!

 Next stop, 'Ye Olde Witches Weighing Scale' in Oudewater!
This is where they actually weighed witches who were on trail for... erm... witchcraft!  This is how it worked, you suspect someone is a witch, they call a fortune teller to do some mumbo jumbo voodoo crap to see if you really are a witch, they send you to the witches scale and if you weigh less than 50 pounds (for an adult that is) then you must be a witch! No one actually burned at the stakes since they started using the scale in the sixteen hundereds!
 

The scale!

Me wife demonstrates that she really is a witch! She's got a broom to proof it! The guyin the back quickly started up a fire... in his pipe that is!

The black(ish) cat! Another proof that you are a witch! Burrrrn!

Fun fact, the first recorded witch who was burned at the stake was actually a dude called Sander! There, learning all the time!

Well, this concludes our history lesson for today! Hope ya enjoyed it, I know we have!
