On Olomouc’s Lower Square stands a two-storey house with a black horse’s head protruding from its wall. Legend explains the sign through the strange story of a horse that fell in love with a girl living there. It followed her constantly until, overcome by passion, it broke through the gable and could move neither forwards nor back. It has been visible there ever since and is said to be the devil himself.
