One of the remaining traces of the idol Radigast is a window frame in the church at Gadebusch, which is located inside the tower above the door. The legend states that this is the Crown of Radigast. This window frame has the form of a wheel and is made out of iron which, allegedly, has a high silver content.
(See Francks altes und neues Mecklenburg. Lib. I. cap. XXIII.)
The Schwerin Cathedral has a similar iron window frame. Windows of this form are called rosa orientalis, Rose of the Orient.
