It is the only Catholic church in the world not dedicated by human hands; (lie legend Is that Christ himself performed the act. lCinsledeln and vicinity were known as the Sombre Forest away back in the eighth century, when a holy hermit, Melnrad, the son of Prince Herthold of Ilohenzollern, built for himself a cell in which ho lived many years. lie was murdered by bri KiimiH hi wiioin no nan oirerod Hospitality and who hail hoped to find concealed treasures; all they got was a chalice and some books. Itavons, whose evil characteristics had been disarmed by tho gentle hermit and had beeomo his companions, pursued tho assassins to Zurich, screaming and picking at tho villains' heads. Tho strange actions of tho irate birds attracted tho townspeople's attention and they questioned tho murderers, who, terrified, acknowledged their crime. In tho Kinsiodoin Abbey coat of-arms me two ravens. When tho noble edifice was erected ovor tho hermit's cell tho walls of the coll were enclosed in black marble and made into a chapel.
