Have you heard of the Basilisk of Vienna?
Legends are usually vague on details. Not in Vienna. The Basilisk of Vienna incident has an address, a date and almost an exact time: Schönlaterngasse 7 in the early morning of June 12th 1212.
Thanks to the blog Viennese Legends for their detailed story about the Legend of the Basilisk. Now we can have all the details. Don’t worry: a young apprentice baker and a mirror saved the day! On the facade a description of the story in 1577 style and a basilisk. What is this beast? We will tell more about it in our future blog posts.
You can also hear the full story during our tour in the heart of Vienna. More information can be found HERE.
