Basiliskenhaus

Schönlaterngasse 7, Vienna, Austria

 

All Viennese children learn the story of the Basilisk: in 1212, there was a Basilisk, a cross-breed of a cock and a toad, which lived in the well at the baker's house. All who looked into his eyes were immediately turned to stone. The clever apprentice to the baker showed a mirror to the beast and so it was turned into stone itself. An inscription and a drawing still remind us of his heroic deed. Walking down the Schonlaterngasse and the little neighbouring roads with their small old buildings is a real trip down memory lane.
