Built in the 1400's, this toilet was connected to the Prince's bed chamber high up in his fortress. It was the first of it's kind- meaning an outhouse was in the palace, not detached where the prince or princess would have to tip toe through the mud and muck for relief. But check out the window in the closet; they had an incredible view overlooking the valley and city below. Naturally the plumbing was just like an outhouse- sort of a drop into a pit. But what you can't tell from this photo easily is that the pit was located about 1000 feet below, down the mountain and still encased in the stone base of the fortress itself. If you look at some of my other Salzburg photos, this photo is taken inside the fortress at the top of the mountain there in the city. High up enough for defense AND a great view while relieving yourself. Hmm. No, the toilet is no longer in use.
