Zvonice, Bell tower in Halenkovice, Czech Republic.

Zvonice is a vertical stone structure in Halenkovice featuring traditional Czech architectural elements and a bell chamber in its upper section. The structure stands at an elevated location in the village, allowing the bell sounds to carry across the surrounding area.

The brick bell tower was built in 1755 and served as a chapel until the parish church of Saint Joseph was erected in 1789. Above the main entrance a Czech inscription names mayor Jan Juřena and the reeve of Rožnov and gives the year 1755. A stone step by the side door, originally part of a nearby vanished well, bears the carved date 1726. The tower was restored in 2020 with support from the Zlín Region and the Ministry of Culture.

The tower served as a chapel until the parish church of Saint Joseph was built in 1789. Above the main entrance an inscription from 1755 names mayor Jan Juřena and the reeve of Rožnov. Two bells hang inside: Saint Thomas, cast in 1861, and a second bell made during the Second World War.

The bell tower stands on the village square (náves) of Halenkovice, in the Zlín District. The main entrance with its semicircular arch leads into the chapel, while the side entrance, reached by two stone steps, opens into the bell chamber; one step bears the carved date 1726 and came from a nearby vanished well. The building was reconstructed in 2020 with support from the Zlín Region and the Ministry of Culture.

The two stone steps by the side entrance were once part of a nearby well that no longer exists; the date 1726 is carved into one of them, older than the tower itself. Above the main entrance a Czech inscription names mayor Jan Juřena and the reeve of Rožnov and gives the year 1755.
