The Templars and the Stone Hand

The Old Château in the town bears Albrecht Krajíř of Krajek’s coat of arms. This palace was completed in 1579. Nevertheless, a legend persists that it once housed the Templars. Tradition says that a stone hand was built into the cellar wall, pointing towards a hidden treasure.
