Episode description
In our very first episode of Lore & Crime, we journey back to the year 1689, during the devastating war between France and the German states in the Rhineland. But this isn't just a war story.
High above the River Rhine stands the eerie Schönburg Castle, where I spent several days investigating a forgotten local myth: the legend of the Seven Virgins.
According to legend, seven noble sisters vanished without a trace one fateful night.
Blending real European history with ghostly folklore, this tale is steeped in mystery, haunted by the past, and ready to be unearthed once more.
