Fairy tours in the Odra Museum

The museum in the former execution building in Odry is a place where you can learn not only about the history of the prison system, but many other interesting facts about the town. As this museum has also become part of the Fairytale Poodří, you can also let the fairytale characters take care of you here.

In Katovna, tourists are welcomed by Proutníčeks, i.e. elves, who can be recognised by their big black hats, grey cloaks and a cupcake in their hands. They are said to have travelled to Odry from the nearby forests and their means of transport was fresh twigs from bushes and trees. They teach children about the importance of loving nature. And they guide everyone, big and small, through the museum’s exhibition, where they are able to talk a lot about everything found around Odry. So they show the silver and slate that was mined here. They talk about the coins and bricks that archaeologists have found.

So if you want to explore this part of the Poodří region, you don’t have to be afraid in the former executioner’s house, the Proutníčeks are nice and friendly.
