In the castle ruins, also called Lapis, or Stone, lie buried treasures guarded by dwarfs. They open on Good Friday during the reading of the Passion. A version of the widespread tale tells of a mother entering the filled-in cellars with her child on Good Friday, then forgetting the child because of the riches. While carrying out the treasure, the rock closed, and she had to wait a whole year to see her child again.
