Overview

Embark on a spine-chilling journey through Kazimierz, Krakow’s mysterious district, where dark tales of brutal crimes and dangerous figures from the 20th century still haunt the streets. Discover the eerie locations where infamous murderers like Karol Kot, the "Vampire of Krakow," and WWII soldier Franz Tham committed their heinous acts. Walk through Szeroka Street, where Kot’s brutal murders in the 1960s targeted women and children, and visit Józefa Street, the site of his most notorious killings. Explore Kazimierz’s criminal history, the impact of these figures on the area, and the development of criminology in Krakow. Visit Wąska Street, where Tham evaded capture after committing brutal crimes during WWII. Reflect on the psychological motives behind these heinous acts at St. Catherine’s Church, then end at Nowy Square, contemplating the lasting impact of these chilling events and the shadow they cast on Krakow’s history.
