In this short video, we look at one of history's most brutal torture methods. Previously we have looked at The Oubliette, a tiny and small prison or dungeon in which prisoners were thrown into and simply just forgotten. These dungeons were the resting place for many prisoners who were left inside the hole in the ground, which were often filled with water and rats. The Oubliette was horrific and means 'to forget' meaning once thrown inside the Oubliette, you were not getting out!
The Germans had a different variation of the Oubliette, known as 'The Angstloch' or fear hole. This was found in the basement of a Bergfried, a castle structure or tower used to defend and protect. Prisoners would be thrown down the Angstloch and left for a very long time. They were very deep and were also used to store cannon balls and ammunition for artillery. But as a dungeon they were horrific, and worked very similarly to an oubliette.
So join us today as we look at, 'The Angstloch - The German Oubliette - History's Most BRUTAL Torture Method?'
