He says that the hill has been a cursed place for centuries and controlled by Satan. In the 17th century, it was decided to put an end to this and drive away the evil from there. That is why the local residents decided to build a church on the hill. The foundations were laid, and the workers working on the construction of the church began to build the walls. However, every night the walls were destroyed by the devil, who threw huge stones from the surrounding fields towards the church. After a few days, the builders gave up, and the forces of darkness took over the hill. The local residents believe that evil powers inhabit the hill to this day. And the church, for which the building material was ready, was moved to nearby Szymiszów. The foundations of the unfinished church have survived to this day, including the large field stones that the devil threw.
