ENG: The stone pranger on the corner of Old Town Hall in Nachod from the 1659, the work of Italian stonemasons Carlo Serena. Pillory consists of base in the shape of a block with dimensions 60x60x40 cm, and the fragment of the cylindrical column with a diameter of 40 cm and a height of 120 cm at the front with the remnants of the shackles and chain. The condemned person was tied to a column that stood in the town center for public view. The pranger was only used for public humiliation as punishment, not for painful interrogation or coercion.
