A treasure is supposedly hidden in the large house behind the church of St James. A Dominican monastery once stood beside the Prague Gate. Long afterwards, apparitions appeared in several nearby houses. At midnight, or even at noon, a sneezing White Lady appeared here. She was said to have been the wife of a Hussite soldier. When enemies invaded Beroun, her sneezing revealed to Žižka’s fighters where weapons were hidden in the house U Žaludů. At U černého orla, a former inn, windows rattled at night and the ghost of a monk walked about. He is said to guard treasures from the ruined monastery. In the Jenštejn House on the square, the ghost of a woman in white carrying keys walks about and laments on the last day of the year. She is a former maid who caused the death of children and was sentenced to death. Surroundings:
