The castle once belonged to robber knights, who buried many treasures here and entrusted them to castle spirits. Only a righteous person can dig them up at midnight on Palm Sunday. They burned on the day the priest read the Passion in church. Two secret underground passages allegedly exist: one to the Morava valley and the other as far as Velké Losiny.
