Zvonička, Bell tower in Černíč, Czech Republic.
Zvonička is a stone bell tower in the village of Černíč, constructed with architectural details typical of rural Czech building methods from the 19th century. The structure has a compact form with simple lines that fits naturally into the village landscape.
The bell tower was built in 1874 as part of the Kohútovo pilgrimage site and originally held two bells cast by renowned bell maker Jozef Pozdech. After World War I, these bells were replaced with ones from the R. Manoušek factory, which continue to ring today.
The name Zvonička means little bell and reflects the tower's role in the village center. The bells ring for religious services and community events, marking the rhythm of daily life in Černíč.
To visit the interior, you need to contact the municipal office in Černíč in advance to arrange access. The exterior can be viewed anytime from the street without any prior arrangements.
The bell tower was originally part of a larger recreational area started by Canon Ignác Tonhäuser. This site served as a gathering place where local communities organized May Day celebrations and other community events.
