Did crime run rampant in medieval Antwerp, or did executioners keep evil at bay through torture and corporal punishment? Didn’t the executioner suffer from burnout from all that torture, and why were people in the Middle Ages so fond of parsley?
Find out during ‘Wandering Souls’, a compelling storytelling tour full of true historical tales.
An eccentric coffin-maker guides us along ancient castle walls and narrow alleys. Wandering souls bear witness to a turbulent past filled with advancing enemies, heroic knights, vicious villains, and souls who, centuries later, still cannot find rest.
Together, we’ll unravel facts and myths from times gone by on a fascinating journey through time, with the Steen as the anchor point for all the stories.
