"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.

Y’all leave my box of gold coins alone.
And that’s how we got a real vampire in 2021!
Leave certain things alone.
It’s bound to be a grave.
Is this chapel near the Castle of Awwghhhh?
(Yes, yet another reference to Monty Python!)
Wonder where the went to and name they became history makers don’t fade as fast as they did.
He got bitten by a moose and couldn’t make it
Could be a live hand grenade in there!
lol
The Grail will be found buried under a giant pile of unmatched socks.
If it is the Holy Grail, leave it save in Poland. Displaying it publicly would chance it to blasphemy. Remember the Crucifix displayed in a jar of urine? Funny wasn’t it? The world is in enough trouble without asking for more.
Poland has the most awesome churches. I had the chance to go into a wooden church in the South of the country, one of the most awesome things I’ve been seen.
Stop trying to find the “Holy Grail’, and seek the One who drank from it! The only objects the Bible refers to as having special powers, are prayer cloths sent from Paul, which healed diseases. And since there is only one reference to this in the Bible, it cannot be tested. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established. 2Corinthians 13:1. (I am NOT saying it didn’t happen, I’m saying there is just the one Scripture reference to it).
That doesn’t look like the Castle Anthrax. Who’s been setting light to the Grail shaped beacon?
I found an abandoned cistern in my back yard. It may lead to the Holy Grail. Or not.
More likely it will lead them to the bones of Kublai Khan’s nitwit son, Luigi. Jan Sobieski did a special service to the Khan and thus was allowed to win the war.
Excellent sir!
Luigi? Really? Heh...
Yeah, I should check mine, too, and look for one of those Paul cloths as well.
