- House of Blackheads
The name of the house derives from the guilders' patron St. Maurice, who was often depicted as a Moor. - Basilisk
The basilisk, Schönlaterngasse 7. According to a myth, on 26 June 1212, the servant of a baker discovered a basilisk at the bottom of the well in the courtyard. He destroyed it by holding a mirror to it (looking into its eyes was known to be fatal). The basilisk exploded. Now I know where JK got her ideas from. - Basilisk
