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 exact construction date is unknown; the bell's date suggests the tower was built around 1830. It was repaired in 1939 and again in 1965, and in 1964 it was entered in the Central List of Cultural Monuments of the Czech Republic. The bell cracked in 1952 and was repaired the same year by the Michera firm in Brno-Husovice.

The bell was rung to announce fires, noon and the Angelus, and today it is used only as a death knell. Its 1830 casting in Wolfgang Straub's Olomouc workshop is recorded on the bell itself, which cracked in 1952 and was repaired that same year by the Michera firm in Brno-Husovice.

The bell tower stands freely on the village square (náves) of Lhota nad Moravou, on a square concrete base, and is viewed from the outside only. The bell hangs in the open upper section beneath a conical canopy, so it can be seen from below without entering. The structure is all wood, so it is best visited in dry weather.

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.
