This cellar is really strange, as is is painted with naive and disturbing
paintings by Max Appeltauer.
He was one handed and had to paint at canlelight, and he was painting for 30
years to cover the whole cellar with pictures.
The pictures show scenes of daily life, like the arrival of the first tractor.
Others show scenes from fairy tales or legends.
Local sights, like Prague Castle, engravings or the Satov coat of arms can also
be found.
Running off of the main tunnel are five smaller rooms, each depicting a separate
theme.
One of tis rooms shows some erotic pictures.
This cellar was once really popular among the local.
Young couples went here to be undisturbed.
But also wives, searching for their husbands.
Local lore has it that Hitler visited the cellar when inspecting the military
bunkers nearby.
