Iron Maiden & Cage

Calistoga, CA

This was an authentic Iron Maiden, not a replica.
Apparently this one is also called the Virgin of Nuremberg, as that is the castle it came from.
(According to some historical accounts, the original was lost in 1944. And a replica was made
which was kept at the castle in Nuremberg.)

The guy who had the castle built said the maiden cost him $13,000 in Italy
