The knitting maiden of Rõngu castle

People said a great treasure lay in the cellar under the ruins of Rõngu castle, reached by an old vaulted passage running into the hill. A man once took a lantern, followed the passage to an iron door and broke it open with great effort. Inside, a ram sat on a barrel of gold, and beside it, on a golden chair, sat a young lady knitting a stocking. As he stepped across the threshold there was a mighty rumble; the lady shrieked and vanished, and the man barely got out alive. Another serf once saw a cauldron of coins by the wall that was gone when he returned with others. The ruins stand on Lossimägi in Rõngu.
