The bell tower is an integral part of the stone entrance arch. Perhaps this was the village 'doorbell' when the entrance to such villages would be barred by a gate. Or it may have served as an emergency warning, calling all those outside the village proper to hasten to the protection of the village walls. The stork nesting on top of the tower is vary typical of Bavarian germany.
