Zvonice

Zvonice is a bell tower standing in the center of Bořenovice with a straightforward, sturdy structure. It features a bell chamber at the top and was built to be visible from across the village.

The tower originates from a time when fire was a major threat to the wooden houses of the village. It later served as a bell tower for announcements and marking time for the community.

The tower shows how important such buildings were for village life and gathering. The bell called residents together for community events and marked significant moments in the annual cycle.

The tower is located centrally in the village and is easily accessible on foot. It is best visited during daytime when the surroundings are well-lit and fully accessible.

The original bell inside the tower dates back to an earlier period than the structure itself and has been carefully preserved. It tells through its form and age a story that predates the structure that now holds it.
