It turns out that Madame de Merret, its late owner, forbade anyone from entering the building for 50 years after her death. A lawyer was given the task and the funds to ensure that her dying wish be respected. The reason why, a tale of Gothic horror, involves a man being walled up by a mason in the closet of the bedroom....
