n -5 • Hangman's House According to fotk traditions, the building was where con­demned murderers were executed. Its local name may also be explained by the fact that it stands next to the cemetery. place late autumn (October­November) in Tokaj-Hegyalja treading was often carried out in boots because of the cold. In the autumn, during the Wine Festival, visitors can try the differ­ent forms of pressing. • Once upon a time Upstairs there is an exhibition of ceramics, found when the house from Mád was being dismantted in 1988. Most of the ceramics were found in the heat-insulating layer at the bottom of the kitchen oven. The 19th century kitchenware has been suc­cessfully and authentically reconstructed and includes various earthenware pots (a cooking pot with a thin wall and narrow bottom from Gömör County), pans and green glazed tiles character­istic of the region. The white, green and yellowish glass­ware is extremely interesting, as they indicate that glass objects (bottles, glasses, sampling tubes) were com­mon in the households of the 1800s.
