EN: The brick prismatic bell tower with a mansard shingled roof is part of the church complex, which preserves the tradition of the original location of the village of Skupice in the Ohre floodplain. In 1633, it probably replaced the wooden predecessor west of the church. In 1903, a morgue was attached to it.
