The Baby-Eating Statue of Bern Switzerland

Sharing is Caring!

Standing in the middle of Bern, Switzerland, is the Kindlifresser, or “Child Eater.” The towering statue has a baby half-stuffed into his mouth and carries a sack full of three alarmed tots on his shoulder—presumably for later snacking.

The disturbing sculpture is no modern work of art; built in 1546, it is one of the oldest fountains in the city of Bern.

Strangely, no one is sure why it’s there…
