A bell was once cast here and baptised with the name of the local lord, Jan Burián of Říčany, who was then away fighting in distant lands. The bell allegedly rang of its own accord when the lord returned home. Ever afterwards it bore the imprint of the two fingers with which Burián had stopped it. The bell was destroyed in a fire in 1806.
