Intro
There is no need to book an expensive flight to San Francisco to take a look round a former prison.
Welcome to Barabas – Switzerland’s first jailhouse hotel. This historic central prison of Lucerne was built in 1862 and operated as a prison until 1998. Today, you have the opportunity of sleeping where some years earlier criminals had spent their time.
Mr Barabas was an artist and inmate, imprisoned until 1975 for conscientious objection. He painted a fresco in one of the cells which is still there today. He painted everything he missed during his detention, such as women, money and wine.
Speaking of wine: after the tour, visitors can enjoy a drink and some snacks or even a meal together in the prison courtyard or main hall.
