 |  |  | House of nobility (B)
< on 10/6/2007 8:04 AM >
|  | | | I had been going to this place a couple of times already before a door was finally standing open. This used to be the home of a noble family. Yet i find it hard to consider them 'noble', now that i have seen their house.
It all looks very normal at first view:
But in a room on the highest floor is a tiny door. Behind it a dark room, with just one single light bulb, no windows, whose walls is completely covered in newspapers. Apparently this was the place where mentally unstable person(s) of the family were locked away so they could not disturb the perfect image of the family. Just one single cross hung on the wall.
In the cellar, i find the most worrying (maybe i just have too much imagination) view of all. In the wine storage room, is a hole in the wall in the back. These walls are about half a meter thick and through this hole i can see a room on the other side.. But beside these hole, there is no other way to get there.. Why have an almost unreachable part of the cellar?
This truly is a broken place..

| | | | The newspaper-room is quite sick. I wonder what's up with this separate room in the basement. It's something that I would have liked right away for its surrealness, but as one thinks about it, it's pretty strange. Sure there was no other way in? Like a door in the ceiling you could have missed?
But there's two different kinds. There's bad asbestos, and there's nice asbestos. Anyway, it grows on you. |

| | | | Nope there was no other way.. we looked all over but all we know is that it is at the front of the house next to the regular basement. At first i thought it was a hiding place for during the world war, but it would have been highly unpractical to get in/out. It still puzzles me.

I now believe it can not have been for this. The hole is just in a too uncomfortable height for it to be a hide-away of the war.
