The massive prismatic Gotic bell tower, located on the right side of St. Michael' Church front facade, was constructed as independent belfry in the 1482 (the first Gothic tablet). The upper part was added in the 1664 (the second Baroque tablet). The belfry, which can be visited for free, bears four bells - St. Jan Sarkander (600 kg), St. Zdislava (800 kg), Sv. Michael (1 850 kg) and Maria (2 500 kg). The windows at bell storey also offers nice views over Olomouc...
