Legends:
According to the legend, Grydestenen was
thrown by a giant from Munkebo Bakke or
Hindsholm at Norup Church, as the giant
did not like the church bell sound.
Another story tells of a bet between two
giants. One giant should hit Norup
Church down, but failed.
The stone is told to rotate, when it
smells freshly baked bread - and all
three times when the baker passes by
using fresh bread.
