Checking out is set to 11 o'clock when noon is still rung in Brno churches. It is so to remind of a legend that the town fought off by ruse when under siege of Swedish army in 1645. Swedish general Thorstenson then declared that if the town was not captured by high noon, he would decamp. The news, however, did not remain secret to the exhausted town defenders who for each hour played role…
