According to legend, the white ghost of a former castle owner wanders the ruins, patiently awaiting release every hundred years. She once appeared to a shepherd boy and told him to wait for her the next day without fear, even though she would show a terrifying form. A dreadful ghost with a dog on its back indeed appeared. The boy was frightened, so the White Lady still awaits release.
