A man in Germany was arrested on suspicion of arson this week after he allegedly set fire to a mountain retreat built for Adolf Hitler.

The fire broke out at the Eagle’s Nest in the Bavarian Alps on Friday evening, and firefighters battled the flames against strong winds.

The 33-year-old suspect is a German citizen who showed signs of mental illness and was taken to a psychiatric facility, authorities said.
