Je tomu už více než dve ste let. Zaprášenou silnicí od Smidar prijíždel jezdec – Pán z Dymokur. Míril na své panství. Krajina kolem byla tehdy lesnatá a plná divoké zvere. Tu se náhle u cesty objevili lvi. Pán neveril svým ocím, jak by zde mohli žít lvi? Odevzdal svou duši Bohu a zacal se modlit. Pomodlil se jednou, po druhé, po tretí. Pak vyzýval všecky svaté, kolik jich v pameti nosil. Pozoroval pri tom, že lvi krotnou a couvají hloubeji do kroví. Hrabe se obrátil o pomoc ke svému patronu svatému Vincentu, který nad ním držel ochrannou ruku po celý jeho život.
Motlitby pomohly a lvi se odplížili z místa setkání, Dymokurský pán byl zachránen. Na pamet své záchrany a z vdecnosti k svatému patronu dal na míste vystavet sochu svatého Vincenta. Na spodní cásti jsou tri lví hlavy. Uprostred je vyryt nápis: „Svatý Vincenc, patron proti nehodám. Dne 12. November 1732“. S. Vincent má podobu mládence, Obema rukama drží hrad s veží.
