Among other things, he characterized the village as being very run down. Before he had become Schultheiß, most of the houses had been allowed to fall into disrepair.

The mill was built in the first half of the 12th century in order to supply the castle and its outlying estate of Nienrode. The overshot water for the mill wheels was fed by means of a mill channel, just under 2 kilometres long, from the Goldbach stream below the pond of Mönchemühleteich. Between 1988 and 1991, work was carried out to uncover this channel over a length of about 500 metres. The Regenstein Mill was in operation until the end of the Middle Ages and then increasingly fell into rack and ruin.

He named his dog Boot to go with Wellington. Wellington is quite a solemn intellectual and given to philosophical trains of thought. He can also be quite resourceful – he appears to support himself by selling handmade wooden buggies and pilfering food from sympathetic local shops, or convoluted schemes to create sudden crowds in order to celebrate his birthday on 25 October (which also happened to be Maurice Dodd's Birthday). Wellington can also be something of a worrier, always concerned that the world is going to rack an' rooney (rack and ruin).

It is the mysterious and eerie tale of a journey through an unknown, dark forest, with a musical score composed by Karol Beffa. He directed The Empty House (La maison vide, 52 min, 2008). Shot like a western without a gun, at a drunkard's distance, the film takes place in New Mexico among an ancient Spanish community eaten to rack and ruin by rust, beer, and dust storms. He shot Ascent to the Sky (La montée au ciel, 52 min, 2009): in a small valley in Nepal, at the end of a path worn out by so many feet and so many centuries, two old shepherds escape from their village to climb the mountains: shit everywhere, purity of heart, bedazzlement.

This gave the basis for attempts to present the last one as the patron saint of the rotunda. When Princess Lucretia, the last of the Piast dynasty, died in 1653 the rotunda ceased to be the castle chapel. Since that time the rotunda has been the property of the Chamber of Cieszyn established by the Habsburgs. The new managers did not pay much attention to the church, however the sources state that the Rotunda did not go to rack and ruin. In 1722 and 1755 it was written that the Rotunda “is old, domed and twice a year, on Saint Wenceslas and Saint Nicolas days services are held there”. In the early years of the dominance of the Habsburgs the Rotunda was used as a repository for tools required for performance of the so-called orchards God’s Judgements and sometimes also as an arms depot.
