LEGEND ABOUT MALPILS

Craftsmen wanted to build a church in Malpils. However, the builders could not complete their task, because whatever they put up during day was torn down again that night.
The advice was followed. To break the negative magic spell, the baron decide to sacrifice a young woman,  by walling her up in the building. Not far in the local farm workers found the beautiful, young girl called Mara. Later the village Malpils got its name from the young girl`s name Mara.

 At night she was walled in the stone wall of the church. Since that time the church walls have never fallen down.
