Visby is in a period of change, something that frightens the church and the city’s powerful men. The people of Gotland were encouraged to keep a watchful eye out for anything that was not in keeping with a Christian way of life. A local woman came forward and accused the penitent Lilla Ingeborg of witchcraft, triggering a tragic chain of events. Shortly afterwards, three innocent women find themselves locked up in one of Visby’s prison towers. They are subjected to brutal interrogation techniques and absurd accusations of consorting with the devil himself.Step into the story. Would you like to know more about what happened?
