Considered to be the second most expensive historical artifact in the Czech territory. The golden chasse with wooden core and remnants of the saint was made in 13th century. It belonged to Belgian family of Beauforts, who brought it here at the end of 19th century. After cooperating with nazis, they were forced to leave in 1945, and that's when they buried the treasure in a church floor. It was forgotten for decades and only found again in 1985, after a "suspicious" request to authorities from an American businessman, who wanted to buy a "thing that nobody would be missing". Later it was restored and nowadays exhibited in the Bečov Castle.
