An enigmatic past with haunting origins, the Cat's Well is worth a walk by and photo op IF you know the history. In medieval times, evil spirits were believed to live down in the well. Strange noises could be heard from time to time and the local residents believed that demons and other beings with nefarious intent resided below the ground level with a desire to flood the town. Following popular medieval belief that animal sacrifices would appease the spirits, the town folk would pitch stray cats, living or otherwise, down the well. In other stories, sheep and even cattle made the plunge. The water was contaminated for years and the well was shut sometime in the 1800s or so.

(Translated by Google) Monument to the well. There is no water in it now. Since the 13th century, people have used it for drinking. Six centuries! (Original) Памятник колодцу. Воды в нем сейчас нет. С 13 века люди его использовали для питья. Шесть столетий!

An old well with many stories :) The well is worth looking at, but only with a matching story - otherwise it's just a well like any other.

There is a long history of this well, an interesting legend, a mystical place. It's a pity that there are no notes about it nearby.

세계 하나 뿐인 우물 기념소라는데, 기념할만한 설명서하나 없어요. 어쉽습니다. 사람들이 의미를 알수 있는 안내서 부착했으면 좋겠어요. 현지 가이드들이 관광객 인솔 하면서 Cat's well 앞에서 열심히 해설하는 것을 들어볼수 있습니다. 구시가지 타운홀 지나서 조금 올라오면 볼수 있어요.

📌Great place! 🇺🇦🇪🇪👍📸💣

It's a well

(Translated by Google) Interesting place. A well with a story about evil and cats that were thrown to eliminate evil. Beyond the old stories, the site is generally beautiful, especially for its surroundings. (Original) Interesante lugar. Un pozo con una historia acerca de la maldad y los gatos que eran arrojados para eliminar el mal. Más allá de las historias antiguas, el sitio es hermoso en general, sobre todo por su entorno.

Nothing special, visit just if you’re near.

Beautiful place
