According to legend, the locals did not know where to build the church. In a fit of frustration, the mason threw his hammer into the sky. A dove caught it in mid-air and then dropped it. The answer had thus come from the heavens. The image of the dove has often been used by the local council; it appears on the stained-glass windows holding a branch, as well as on the corners of the bell tower.
