A version of the widespread church-foundation legend is associated with the settlement of Polom. The owner of Lipka wanted to build a church beside his stronghold, as a White Lady had advised him in a dream. He began construction, but whatever was built during the day was carried at night by a white horse to the village of Polom. In the end the lord yielded and had the Church of St Cunigunde built there.
