Show sight on map
Dom altarystów Małgosia,

Hansel and Gretel – two medieval tenement houses at the north-west corner of the Wrocław market square, connected with each other by an arcade. Built most probably in the fifteenth century, they were then part of a larger group of altarist houses of the parish church of St. Elizabeth. Between the tenement houses, under the arcade, there was an entrance to the cemetery liquidated in the eighteenth century, which is reminded by the inscription on the cartouche "Mors Ianua Vitae" – "Death is the gate of life". There used to be a gate in this gate.
