Rothschild House Museum

The Story

Local lore says members of the Rothschild family remain attached to their former home. Visitors report doors slamming, sudden cold and a sorrowful-looking shadow. Some versions attach that figure to a family death, but the account does not establish the identity; the observed phenomena and the explanation should remain distinct.
