This private apartment building, which resembles a medieval castle, is said to be haunted. The story goes that after the house was built in 1915, evil spirits moved in and made their presence felt by smashing glasses and shifting objects, forcing the owners to flee. When years later a young artist threw herself from the tower the evil spirits were once again blamed.
