According to legend, the Falconers, obedient to their Lord, who is the King in Heaven, decided to build a temple here. Satan did not like this idea very much. In order to prevent the Eternal from rejoicing at the crowning work, he decided to demolish the church under construction. Under cover of night, he rolled a huge boulder from the far north. When he was close to his desired goal, the morning dawn rose and woke up the village roosters. The moment they crowed loudly, the prince of darkness lost his hellish power. The rolled stone got stuck in the place where it is to this day.

The "Giant's Shield" is impressive in its dimensions: its circumference is about 17 m, and its height is 1.7 m. The weight of the "Giant's Shield" is difficult to estimate, but some claim that the boulder can weigh up to 200 tons! It is worth noting that the Germans were interested in this boulder during World War II, because it was lying on an agricultural field and was an obstacle. That is why they tried to blow it up, traces of which can still be found today.
