Another legend often told is about a French soldier who tried to save his own life by running from two Russian Cossacks. He hid himself in Tvarozná, in building no. 20. Through the fireplace, which was wide enough for his body, he climbed into the chimney. However, the Cossacks found him here and stabbed him to death with their lances.
