The inconspicuous wooden belfry of the cemetery Church of the Holy Trinity (Kostel Nejsvetejší Trojice), originates from the late 1500s, is an unique structure in the frame of late-Gothic European architecture.
Belfry at the Holy Trinity is one of the most important monuments of late-Gothic Czech architecture, unequal even in an European context. Belfry is interesting by a strut-frame beam hexagonal structure, tectonic architecture, open bell floor and shaped shingle-jacket with a distinctive late-Gothic dynamics. In the still fully functional belfry are three original bells - the oldest Mary (1587), Jesus and Joseph (both cast by a Rakovník smith Flemík in 1599).
