Štvorpodlažná hranolovitá stavba tzv. Furl alebo aj Malá veža. Jej jadro je z prvej polovice 13. storocia. V 14. storocí siahala iba do výšky tretieho poschodia. Klenby, ktoré sa nachádzajú na prízemí sú zo 16. storocia. Poschodie urcené pre zvony bolo nadstavené až o 100 rokov neskôr. Umiestnili sem najväcší renesancný zvon Urban odliaty Petrom Gräfom v roku 1588. V súcasnosti je v Hodinovej veži expozícia Kremnické zvony a zvonolejári , ktorá je doplnená o zvukové nahrávky tunajších zvonov. Vedla zvonu Urban visí Umierácik prenesený zo zniceného kostola na Kalvárii.
