Prison of Mikluš, Medieval prison museum in Košice, Slovakia
The museum complex consists of two Gothic buildings merged in the 17th century, featuring preserved cells, torture chambers, and historical exhibitions within stone walls.
The structure served as a prison and torture facility from the early 1600s until 1909, when it transitioned into a museum under the Rákóczi Museum administration.
The exhibitions present the development of Košice through artifacts, wax figures, and displays focusing on the judicial system and executioner practices.
Located near Main Street in the historical center, the museum operates Tuesday through Saturday from 9:00 to 17:00, with special Saturday hours from 14:00 to 18:00.
The museum contains an underground torture chamber and displays original executioner swords from Košice alongside computer animations depicting architectural transformations.
