On moonlit nights the ghost of a girl can be seen below the castle, sorrowfully lamenting her lover’s death. The castle was built in the 15th century, and a monastery allegedly once stood within its grounds. A romantic and tragic tale of lovers is told here. When the monastery superior imprisoned a monk who had fallen in love, and the monk later died, his desperate beloved threw herself from the castle rock into the abyss. Her ghost has appeared here ever since.
