It is located 256 m above sea level and is a perfect vantage point from which to look at the surroundings and even the Opava mountains if the weather is good. According to one of the local legends, the stone tower is what has remained of a castle owned by a rich but very stingy master whose lifestyle was anything but modest. Once there was a feast taking place in the castle with singing and music reverberating around the rooms. Passing by the castle was a roaming beggar or a pilgrim on his way to Kamie? Wielki, the birth place of St. Hyacinth. Tired from the heat, he knocked on the castle gate and asked for a piece of bread and a place to wait out a coming storm. Not only did he not get anything, but dogs were set upon him. Resentful, the beggar cursed the master and all his property. Soon, justice was done. On the very same day, thunder struck right in the middle of the castle which was buried under the ground. All that was left were scattered boulders and the pointed stone tower. No one survived. After a time, a strange apparition was seen around the tower – a white lady and a black dog with two burning keys to the castle gates in its mouth (other versions of the legend say the lady was black). Locals gave the place a wide berth. The dog was seen from time to time by Jarosz, a hunter. Whenever he wanted to kill the animal, he could not, even though his weapon always fired. The white lady, on the other hand, revealed herself at high noon to Mrs Juraszek from Kamie? ?l?ski when she was picking mushrooms. The apparition barred the way of the frightened old woman and asked that she pray daily in her intention on the ruins of the cursed castle. The woman was promised that the effort to go to the Zakrzowska Szpica and pray there each night will not go unrewarded. As she was God-fearing, Mrs Juraszek was eager to comply with the request. In spite of her age, she climbed Zakrzowska Szpica each midnight and asked God to forgive the wrongs done to people by the master of the castle. And that is what happened. The miser’s wife was released from the curse. As a reward the white lady revealed the day when the old woman was going to die. Pious and good-natured, the woman received the news with great humility. Exactly one year on, Mrs Juraszek felt weak and went to bed. That is when she saw the black dog with a fire-spouting mouth and keys dangling from it. The dog spoke and demanded that she release him from the curse too. The old woman got so scared that she soon died. What about the master cursed to live as a dog? It is said he is still roaming the forest. According to a legend, once every one hundred years he demands being released. The dog was last seen by soldiers guarding the airport in Kamie? ?l?ski during Marshal Law. Allegedly, one of them died of heart attack. Others were taken to hospital in deep shock. Even today, the Szpica mountain is shrouded in mystery. The legend also talks about an underground passage in the dungeons of the destroyed castle going in the direction of D?brówka where it ends next to the road from Gogolin to Strzelce Opolskie. It was probably used by highwaymen employed by the master to waylay merchants at the fork of the road. What they took was swiftly taken to the underground passage and then on to the castle.
