On the wall of the Carmelite Church “Na Piasku,” you can find the footprint of Queen Jadwiga. According to legend, Jadwiga once visited the church and saw a tired bricklayer. She put her foot on a damp stone and offered to take the gold buckle from her shoe. Stunned with joy, the bricklayer made a raggle, repeating the footprint of his queen. Then this boulder was used to decorate the facade of the church, and it is still there.
