Pranýř, Medieval whipping post at Frymburk Square, Czech Republic
The stone whipping post stands 5 meters tall in the center of Frymburk's main square, displaying an engraved date of 1651.
During the Swedish siege in 1648, soldiers auctioned confiscated women's clothing near the whipping post as part of their conquest activities.
The post served as a public punishment device where offenders were bound and displayed specific ornaments indicating their particular transgressions.
The structure later incorporated a fire bell, which research suggests originated from the burned Saint Bartholomew church in Frymburk.
The whipping post remained functional until Emperor Joseph II banned public shaming practices, marking the end of this judicial tradition.
