This clock adjacent to the town hall recalls a famous story of the town which has passed into folklore. Centuries ago the town's mayor was a man known for being able to down great quantities of beer. When the town was threatened with invasion, an agreement was made that the enemy would spare the town if the Mayor could down an entire huge container of beer (I forget the volume but it was a lot!) Well, the town was saved by the Mayor's thirst, and when this clock strikes a figure of the man comes out the small windows near the top and takes another drink!
