The Kashubian world is full of mysteries, signs, symbols and magic. It's enough to visit Odargowo to believe that. The village has its origins in 1279, when Duke Msciwuj II presented the Żarnowiec Convent with two villages, one of them called Wdargow. In 1283, the same village was called Udargow, and in 1342 - Odargowo. The description of its location stated that the village borders reach 'ad quendam lapidem, qui Soyce dicitur' ('up to the stone called standing stone').
The stone mentioned in the Duke's Msciwuj was locally referred to as Pagan Stone or Devil's Stone. The legend has it that once upon a time Devil Purtk had a bet with the villagers that he would carry the stone on his little finger and throw it onto the church Żarnowiec before the cock crows. He was not able to complete his task though. When the cock crowed, the devil left his stone and returned to Hell. Five finger trails can be seen on the stone, marking the spot where the Devil gripped the stone with his hand. The stone is quite large: 66 ft wide, 23 ft long and 11.5 ft high. It is in fact a natural monument from the Ice Age, brought here with the continental glacier from Scandinavia.
