The 12 metre tall, eight-sided belfry is one of the largest belfries in the Czech Republic, most probably dating all the way back to the 16th century. The exterior is created from three planks vertically placed above each other. The total circumference of the exterior exceeds thirty-two metres. There are four bells in the belfry, two small ones (the noon and death bell) and two large ones. The oldest and largest one dates back to 1553.
