View Original Description
The display of mechanical fighting goats, plays out daily at noon above the clock on the front wall of the building in the main square.
A legend behind the goats of the clock mechanism states that a cook, had burnt a roast deer, and tried to replace it by stealing two goats. The goats escaped and ran up the town hall tower, where they attracted the townspeople when they began to butt each other. Because of the entertainment provided, both the cook and the goats were pardoned, and ordered that two mechanical goats be incorporated into the new clock being made for the building.
