The Kakola prison, already mentioned a couple of days ago is an imposing structure. The prison is made from the granite of the hill it was built upon, making it almost grow out of the hill. A quick Wikipedia search says that it was designed by Ernst Lohrmann in the Round-arch style (Rundbogenstil). It is quite amazing how such a beautiful structure could have housed so many people yearning to get out. Of course the walls and the barbed wire diminish the beauty somewhat, but then again they bring the added contrast to the photo.
