Return To Vretsia
Enter If You Dare...
So let's go in...
Sofa So Good
Now, according to historical press reports, the locals tried to set up a brothel in Vretsia but it was closed down by the authorities. I had always assumed that that would have been the building behind the tavern, or the tavern itself. However, we have already published a 360 virtual tour of this house, and somebody commented that it used to be a brothel. Is that the case? I had assumed that this ended up as a hostel for seasonal hunters.
Lots Of Beds
There are certainly lots of beds in every room but the hall and the kitchen. But to me, this suggests hostel rather than brothel. I mean, to put it bluntly, you wouldn't have a brothel with shared rooms, would you? I've never been in one, but I had always assumed there would be a certain amount of privacy involved.
All Mod Cons
The bedrooms still have furniture; chests of drawers, as well as the beds themselves. I wouldn't fancy sleeping on any of those mattresses though.
Second Bedroom
This room was, I think, the Living Room at one point. It has furniture more suited to daytime living rather than sleep. You could imagine a TV in here somewhere, if the bed and mattresses were removed. Actually, looking at it, both this room and the next room you shall see, do only have one big bed in them. So perhaps this was the brothel after all, and the first bedroom was just where the staff slept? I have no idea.
