First reports about a wooden gallows located on this site date back to the beginning of the 15th c. Over a century later, it was replaced with a brick gallows on an octagonal plane with a wooden platform with rails. In the beginning of the 19th c. the structure was covered with a roof and converted into a gunpowder store. When the Saxon Garden opened in Lublin at the end of the 19th c., the building was turned into a gardener’s house.
