The ghost of a wicked countess who once lived here appeared in the château. One day, it is said, she had a dress made from baked goods. When she first went for a walk wearing it, an old beggar woman cursed her. At that moment she sank into the depths. This happened in the middle of the château courtyard, beside the grate into which rainwater drains.
