The mechanized goats in Poznań’s Town Hall butt heads daily at noon.

Have you ever wonder why? :)

The legend of the goats to the clock mechanism states that a cook, while preparing a banquet for voivode, had burnt a roast deer.

He attempted to replace it by stealing two goats from a nearby meadow. Unfortunately, the goats escaped and ran up the town hall tower. When they began to butt each other They attracted the attention of the townspeople.

Because of the entertainment provided, the voivode ordered two mechanical goats be incorporated into the new clock being made for the building.
