"This house hates laziness, loves peace, punishes crimes, preserves rights and honors the good" inscription on the wall of the first Stool House, where Jánošík was most likely tried. Today, Jánošík's courtroom is located in these authentic premises. You can find out how the trial of the legendary Jánošík took place in Jánošík's torture chamber, which is hidden in the dark underground of the museum. The gloomy atmosphere is completed by historical drawings of torture and instruments of torture - scraper, pincer, Spanish boot, thumb or pliers for plucking the tongue. They are witnessing the inhuman practices of the time when torture was a legal part of the trial. In Jánošík's courtroom, which realistically depicts the courts of the time, you can dress in period costumes and become a judge, lawyer or Jánošík himself. Test the hardness of the dresher, sit in the judge's chair, or carry the eagle of death over Jánošík. You will also see a gallows with a hook, although Jánošík was executed by everyone for a warning on a hill on the outskirts of the city. As robbery was considered a felony, they chose one of the cruelest methods of execution - hanging on a hook behind the left rib. Jánošík's torture chamber and the courtroom are part of the exposition of the Janko Kráľ Museum.
