On the Baptisterys circular window built in the southern wall of Haapsalu Dome Church a female figure appears during the full moon nights in August.How and why does this woman reveal herself on the chapels window for centuries?

A legend says the following:In the middle Ages,every Canon was supposed to lead a chaste and virtuous life according to the rules of the monastery.Access of women to the Episcopal Castle was forbidden by threet of death.However it happened so that one Canon and an Estonian girl fell madly in love with each other.As the yong people could not stay apart,the Canon dressed the girl up as a boy and broght her to the castle to sing in the choir.For long it remained the secret,but one day the deception was discovered.The verdict of he Bishop was harsh:the Canon was thrown to the castles dungeon to starve to death,while the girl was immured alive in the wall of the Baptistery,then under the construction.The cries of the poor woman were heard of several days until she finally stopped.Still her soul could not find the piece and,as the result,she appears on the Baptisterys window to grieve for her lover and to show the immortality of love.
