Walpurgis Hall, Museum at Witches' Dance Floor in Thale, Germany
The Walpurgis Hall contains five large paintings depicting scenes from Goethe's Faust, including the Will-o'-the-Wisp Dance and Mammon's Cave murals.
The museum opened in 1901 through a collaboration between architect Bernhard Sehring and artist Hermann Hendrich who designed the building in Old Germanic style.
The hall stands as a testament to German folklore, housing artistic interpretations of Walpurgis Night celebrations that mark the arrival of spring.
Located at coordinates 51.7327 latitude and 11.0261 longitude, visitors can access the museum while exploring the surrounding Harz mountains trails.
A sacrificial stone marks the entrance to this Germanic-style structure, connecting the site to ancient local traditions and legends.
