The Austrian house where Josef Fritzl kept his daughter captive for 24 years and fathered seven of her children has been sold, according to the liquidator of his estate.
The house in Amstetten, west of Vienna, was sold for €160,000 Walter Anzboeck said.
State broadcaster ORF cited innkeeper Herbert Hauska as saying his wife and a business partner bought the building and will turn it into apartment units.
He said it is time “to bring down the curtain” on the house’s past.
