The Singing of the Walled-up Monks

One of the oldest legends says several monks were walled up alive in the former monastery at Hradisko. This punished one of them for harassing and kissing Princess Durancie, or Durana, in the underground passage she used to attend services. The singing of the walled-up monks can allegedly still sometimes be heard here.
