Podľa povestí stál kedysi na vrchu Mních kláštor templárov. V roku 1230 ho údajne navštívil templársky majster Johann Gottfried von Herberstein. Počas svojho pobytu raz cestou do kláštora videl, ako lúpežníci prepadli okoloidúcich kupcov. S malou skupinou rytierov sa im vydal na pomoc. V boji proti presile veľmajster padol. Jeho druhovia ho pochovali pri najbližšom kamennom chráme, ktorým bol kostolík v Martinčeku. Uložili ho do niekoľkometrovej šachty vyhĺbenej do svahu, na ktorom stojí kostolík. Neskôr takto pochovali aj ďalších členov rádu. Tento spôsob uloženia pozostatkov vraj potom prevzali aj velitelia posádky neďalekého Likavského hradu.
Ked templársky kláštor bez stopy zanikol a Likavský hrad spustol, ľudia na hroby a templárov časom zabudli. No objavili šachty, v ktorých bol aj v lete silný chlad a tak v nich skladovali úrodu a potraviny. Nad šachtami postavili striešky "dašky" (z nem. "dach" strecha) a až do dnešných čias tu uchovávaju najmä zemiaky, po liptovsky švábku. Neskôr sa tento spôsob uskladnenia potravín rozšíril aj na iné miesta. Jedným z najznámejších sú pivničky v Liptovskej Tepličke.
Historici tvrdia, že templári v tychto miestach neboli a ich kláštor nikdy neexistoval. Existuje však nepochybný fyzický dôkaz ich prítomnosti na tomto mieste - okno v tvare templárskeho kríža na východnej stene kostolíka v Martinčeku. Ten nevedia vysvetliť ani odborníci, ktorí popieraju prítomnosť templárov.
Ďalším dôkazom je, že na niektorých mapách sa nad kostolíkom od istého času zobrazuje duch templárskeho veľmajstra...
Hoci si templári hovorili chudobní rytieri Krista, boli veľmi bohatí a preto dodnes mnohí hľadajú ich poklady aj na Liptove. Vám stačí nájsť okno v tvare templárskeho kríža na stene kostola a spraviť si "svojku" tak, aby ho bolo vidno spolu s vami, alebo vaším GPS a priložiť ju k logu.
Podmienka je to jednoduchá, no pozor: Nečistú hru a podvody templári trestali a zábudlivosť sa nevypláca.

According to the legend, there was once a monastery of the Templars on the hilltop called Mních (eng. Monk). The legend has it that in 1230 the Templar master Johann Gottfried von Herberstein and his knights visited and stayed for some time. During this stay, once upon the return to the monastery he saw the merchants being robbed and decided to help.
Although they were only a small group, they bravely fought the robbers. But sadly, the Master Johan died. His knights took his remains to the little stone church in Martinček village and buried him there in a few-meter-long shaft excavated into the slope of the church hill. Later, they also used this burial site for many other members of the Order. This burial method had been apparently also used by the masters of the nearby Likava Castle.
As the times passed the Templar monastery disappeared without a trace and Likava Castle was abandoned and derelict, people forgot all about the graves and the Templars. Still, the deep shafts that stayed cold even in the hottest summer days were eventually discovered and used for storing the crops and food. The roofs, so-called "dašky" (from the german word "dach"- roof) were built above the shafts and in this form they survived until the present days and are still being used mainly for storing potatoes. This way of storing the crops extended widely in the area. One of the most famous places are the cellars in Liptovská Teplička village. Historians claim that the Templars had never been in these locations and the monastery never existed. However, there seem to be a physical proof of their presence in this place - a Templar cross window in the eastern wall of the Martinček church. This cannot be explained by those experts who deny the presence of the Templars ...
Yet, there might be another proof of the Templar´s presence - in some maps is visible an Spirit of the Templar grandmaster shines from time to time over the church.
Though the Templars called themselves the poor knights of Christ, they were supposedly very wealthy and so still to these days many seek their treasures in the Liptov region. You only need to find the templar cross-shaped window on the church wall and attach a selfie with that Templar cross, or photo of that Templar cross with your GPS.
The rule is simple, but beware: Tepmlar not accepted unfair play and scam.
