Midt under en gudstjeneste søndag den 19. juni 1659 sker det ufattelige: en kanonkugle skydes ind gennem kirkens hvælvinger og rammer en gravsten i gulvet lige foran alteret. Kuglen flækker gravstenen i to dele - Krudtet eksploderer og sætter ild til den kun to år gamle altertavle. Ingen bliver alvorligt skadet, ilden slukket og altertavlen repareret.

During a church service on Sunday 19 June 1659 takes the unimaginable: a cannonball shot through the arches and hits a tombstone in the floor right in front of the altar.
