The legend says that in ancient times, when Cesis was surrounded by high stone walls from all sides, there lived one man - the night watchman. People saw him little and met him even less often, but heard him all the more often. When the townsfolk retired, his footsteps would lead him through the streets of the city, along with his faithful companions - his staff and his ever-howling, glowing torch. Centuries have passed. But if you ever meet a man walking down a cross street with a staff and lantern in hand, don't forget to polish the glass! This light will always show you the way, not only to the old man, but also to your good thoughts, dreams and deeds (translated from Latvian - source: vidzeme.lv/lv/vpr_jaunumi/47 133269/).
