Trivia: All rats used in this movie where imported from Hungary and were originally white. Only black rats can pass the plague, so all rats where painted black or grey right before the film shots. (01:33:35)

Factual error: On the left-hand side of Lucy's front door, you can see a blue and white shield. This is the trademark of the Dutch Heritage organisation, which protects monuments such as old city buildings. These signs did not exist in the 19th Century. (00:48:00)

Other mistake: The carriage brought back the ill Jonathan to Lucy's home in Wisper. But in the road before her door, you can see a modern manhole cover. The film is set in the 19th Century. At that time there was no sewer. (01:13:15)

Factual error: When the ship comes into the harbour of Wismar, you can see the text "Vrijmoed Wittkampf" right above the doors of the warehouses across the harbour. These names are old distillers of the city of Schiedam, proof that the shots are taken in Holland and not in Wismar. (01:06:00)
