Discover the witch hunts of the seventeenth century, the plague of seventeen ten, the castle fire, and other dramatic moments that reveal Stockholm’s complex past. Visit the gallows on Södermalm and hear about Master Mikael, the executioner, as you experience the old wooden quarters that still hold echoes of those dark times.
