More information on Stallbastei

Summer at the "Kasematten" in the Stallbastei is today characterized by the fine arts; this contrasts greatly with the basement of this building's former role as a prison. During the Counter Reformation, opponents of the faith were confined to this 20-metre building on the Schlossberg. During the reign of Maria Theresia, political adversaries were kept here along with aristocrats who had committed serious offences; adultery, murder or high treason were not absent even in those circles. From the mid-18th century onwards, the Bastei became a prison for "ordinary" dangerous criminals.
