Meaning of the
name: It should be translated to the
ironing-stone. The other names is pocket
stone and five finger stone. "Tempelkrogen"
is the location. The name comes from the
fact that a small Catholic congregation,
which had previously had a monastery on
Munkholm, tried to survive the
Reformation and established a wooden
church, "The Temple" south of Eriksholm.
When the Bishop of Roskilde became aware
of this, he had the Temple burned down.
However, the place gave its name to
Tempelkrogen.

Legend: The
marks are from the fingers of the troll
who went with the stone in his pocket
for a long time. He lived in Nellikehøj
near Dyvelslyst. In furious irritation
over the church bells from Ågerup, he
threw the stone, but at flying speed the
stone grew and dumped into the water. At
the air pressure, Ågerup church got a
crack, which could not be sealed.
According to another legend, the troll
threw the stone from Kongstrup. Here,
too, it affected Ågerup church. He
fumbled in it and simply threw too far.
The stone dumped in Eriksholm Vig next
to Ågerup Møllegårds Enghave.
A third troll stood on Husbjerg in
Ågerup parish and his stone fell into
two pieces! He aimed at Sonnerup church,
but one half of the stone fell near
Ågerup town.
Then there is the troll from Huulsbjerg,
who also threw stones! Huulsbjerg is
located between Vinstrup and Algestrup.
And finally there was a troll who lived
on Asserholm. He hated his more affluent
neighbour on Munkholm. The two were
standing and arguing over the water and
one day Asserholm's troll became so mad
at the neighbour that he threw a stone
at him. His aim has not been too good
either. The stone reportedly bears
traces of five fingers.
