Among other interesting murals on the Renaissance château’s wall, in the right-hand corner of the second floor, is a figure dressed in 16th-century clothing with a cat-like animal wrapped around his neck. Five letters G are painted above the knight. This ancient mystery remains unsolved. They are thought to be initial letters of words. Legend says that whoever solves the enigma will find a hidden treasure. Mysterious inscriptions also exist in the tower.
