The last person executed for witch craft have traditionally claimed to be Anna Göldi in Switzerland in 1782, a maid accused for having bewithced the child of her employer, after having ben made pregnant by him.

However; in 1793, two women were executed in Poland accused of having bewitched cattle. Further more; in 1811, Barbara Zdunk were executed in Poland for arson accused of having used magic to cause a city to burn down by fire.

The definitons is hard; No records actually mention witch craft in the case of Göldi, the 1793 case was conducted by a legal court but not with support by the law, and Zdunk was formally executed for arson.

Witch trials were still held in Europe during the 18th-century; In Ireland 1710, In Hungary 1729, in Salzburg 1749, in Poland 1783. The last witch was executed in Sweden 1704, in England in 1716, in Scotland in 1727, in France in 1745, in Germany in 1756.

Even after witch trials were forbidden and the legal court refused to accept accusations of witch craft, people lynched other people the supsected to be witches. During the entire 19th-century, such lynchings occured in Europe; in Denmark in 1800, in Poland in 1836 and in England in 1863.
