Zvonička, Bell tower in Lhota nad Moravou, Czech Republic

Zvonička is a wooden bell tower in Lhota nad Moravou and functions as a cultural monument built in vernacular style. The structure features a central bell chamber with a protective roof and represents traditional village construction methods.

The bell tower was built in 1830, as indicated by the inscription on its bronze bell. The structure underwent significant repairs, first in 1939 when damaged roofing was replaced and later in 1965 using materials from a nearby castle.

The bell tower served as a communication hub for the village, announcing prayer times, warning of fires, and marking funeral occasions for residents. Its role shaped how people organized their daily routines and responded to emergencies.

The tower is easily visible from many parts of the village and can be observed from the outside. Visitors should explore the area on foot to appreciate the structure and its surroundings fully.

The bell carries inscriptions in Latin and German, including the name of the caster Wolfgang Straub from Olomouc. A Golgotha relief appears on the surface, symbolizing the tower's spiritual purpose.
