Folklore tells about the rich prince Bogoj, who built it for his son Bogdan and his beloved Miljeva from Ključ at the mouth of the Čikola. Legend has it that Cika’s mother richly prepared Miljeva for marriage. Seven bans and twelve prefects came to the feast.
The happy event was spoiled by the arrival of a dragon that abducted the bride and took her to the lake near Brljan. The groom went in search of her, but he disappeared into the depths of the water and his father never saw him again…
The inconsolable Bogoje gave his wealth to the people and built the Arkhandjelovac monastery so that the monks could pray for him and the souls of the unfortunate. He built two towers, Čučevo (Trošenj) and Nečven, in which he built two twins, to cry eternally for his son. He built a bridge near Miljacka and the Roško waterfall, on which travelers paid the bridge toll with two tears, for Bogdan. The people called the fort Vilingrad, the stream under the fort Ključ Čikola and the hill near Ključ Miljevci.
