"The legend says that Templars, under cover of darkness, sunk a wooden box with golden coins and the Holy Grail," Marek Karolczak, a local historian, told CNN Travel. The lake mentioned in the stories dried out long ago, "and the treasure has either been stolen or lost forever in the swamp," he added.

Now, archaeologists are investigating one of the chapels the order built in western Poland upon its return from the Holy Land. The small village of Chwarszczany, in the region of West Pomeranian, is home to the chapel of St. Stanislaus, constructed from red bricks by the Templars as both a place of worship and a defensive fortification in 1232.

According to recent investigations, the chapel also serves as the final resting place of several Knights Templar, and appears to conceal a hidden passageway leading to an underground chamber.

The St. Stanislaus chapel in Chwarszczany was built by the Knights Templar. Could they have hidden the Holy Grail in the secret tunnel below its foundations? | Photo by MOs810, Wikimedia Commons.

Wait. I thought the Holy Grail was buried on Oak Island.

...along with the Golden Menorah and Shakespeare’s manuscripts.

I’m confused.

When it comes to the Holy Grail it’s best to not choose poorly.

It’s best we find the Holy Grail before anyone else does. Jesus imbued it with powers to cause floods, earthquakes, giant velociraptors, and melt the skin off the faces of your enemies. That’s why it was hidden away in an ancient crypt filled with snakes.
