The Hexenhäusel (aka Hexenhäuschen or Hexenhäusl) is one of the oldest residential buildings in Bautzen. A former fisherman's house built before 1604, it survived the great 1634 fire which caused great damage to the city; it also survived subsequent fires and wars. According to popular lore, the house was said to have withstood all fires because it was protected by a Gypsy's spell. A distinctive listed historic building widely depicted in postcards circa-1900 and reconstructed in 1959/60, it has old-style wooden roof shingles and wooden gutters.
