  The beautiful council building was built as a department store and goods handling centre as early as the 14th century. Not only was a new pope elected in this historic building, but a mysterious miracle also occurred here. Your guide knows all kinds of strange stories about miracles, mystics, revenants, cruel figures, strange apparitions and terrible happenings.

  A mighty house, five stories high, stands here at the fish market, once built in the 13th century by a powerful Konstanz patrician family. Supposedly, it was built from top to bottom – so it’s a miracle that it still stands!

  The venerable cathedral, the former Episcopal Church, is reported to have once been eerie lights of night circling the cathedral tower, singing psalms from nowhere and noise coming from the closed cathedral caused by ghosts of cathedrals announcing death. Several miracles are also said to have taken place in the cathedral: macabre ghost phenomena, traces of death sentences, abysmal allegories and mystical signs still report these events today. Under the all-seeing eye of God, our guide will tell you about all these wonders.

  Nowadays, Münsterplatz is characterized by powerful cathedral courtyards from the Baroque period, built at a time when Constance was still an important seat of a bishop. Today, it is hard to imagine that the square served as a cemetery for centuries. Some ghost phenomena are said to have already existed here: for example, long shadows are reported, which are said to have stretched over the cathedral manors, whereupon the cathedral man in question met his death. So it is not surprising that the cathedral of Constance shows demonic figures to ward off the evil spirits.

  Just a few steps from the Obermarkt in Constance, there is a 16th-century house where a ghost is doing his mischief. The residents of the house report an eerie sigh, which sometimes rings out, and a cold breath, which they then feel. If you are brave enough, our guide will be happy to show you the haunted house of Konstanz.
