A true "Dwelling" (not described by Fulcanelli) from 1699:

Of course you could say that these images of greek mythology are not necessarily alchemical, but they discovered that the owner back then also had an alchemical laboratory inside this house.

Added to the map.

Oh wow Florius!! Great share !!

First one reminds me of Bourges description by Fulca, when he quotes the Python Myth, which indeed is very pictory: the goddess after the great flood takes some mud and makes it into a serpent, then Apollo comes and kills him with an arrow setting the oracle free.

Simonetti house is it in italy, or france? Maybe swiss?

Thank you really.

It's in Coswig, Germany. Near Leipzig, between Dresden and Magdeburg.
I am happy that you like it!

Cool. Undoubtedly. Leipzig seems to be a rich place, with all the books, and this dwelling too. Maybe that was just a big paper manufacturing center, but probably the great amount of hermetic books printed there attracted more people to pursue this way.

Again, danke sehr.
