THE STORY

Rougemont Castle is associated with ghost stories stemming from its long history as a place of imprisonment and execution. Local legend particularly remembers three women executed for witchcraft in the 1680s, whose restless spirits are sometimes said to linger around the former castle and court grounds.
This site used to be a prison; the last execution was of three witches, hanged in the 1680s. Some of those executed here are said to be restless in the afterlife and have been reported to disturb guests’ hospitality here.
