Bell tower in Kvílice, Bell tower at Saint Vitus Church, Kvílice, Czech Republic

The bell tower beside the Saint Vitus Church is a wooden structure with traditional proportions and details typical of central Bohemian architecture. Its design reflects the building methods common to religious structures in this region.

The late Gothic wooden bell tower dates from the 16th century and was modified in 1663. Of its three original bells, only one survives, cast in 1613 by the bell founder Senomatský of Šternstat from Slaný; the other two were requisitioned during World War I. In 1967 it was entered in the Central List of Cultural Monuments of the Czech Republic as part of the protected complex of Saint Vitus Church.

The single surviving bell was cast in 1613 by the bell-founder Senomatský of Šternštat, based in Slaný; two older bells were requisitioned during the First World War. The tower belongs to the protected set around the church of Saint Vitus, listed in 1967.

The tower stands in the northwest corner of the cemetery by the Church of Saint George, not in the village centre. Fifteen stone steps lead up to the three-metre-high masonry base, and eleven more continue to the ringing platform. The bell storey is open, so the timber frame is visible from outside.

Of the three original bells, only one survives: cast in 1613 by the bell-founder Senomatský of Šternštat in Slaný. The other two were requisitioned during the First World War, leaving the tower with a single bell.
