Zvonice v Loučné Hoře, Wooden bell tower in Loučná Hora, Czech Republic

Zvonice v Loučná Hoře is a wooden bell tower standing near St. George Church, built in a simple traditional style adapted to local construction methods. The structure features basic architectural elements designed for practical function rather than decoration.

The earlier bell tower on this site, southwest of St George's Church, was considered Gothic and hung bells from 1513 and 1535, the latter cast by Jakub Ptáček. It was demolished in the 1920s for poor condition. The present tower was built and consecrated in 1942, receiving the original bells plus one small addition; in 1958 it was listed as a cultural monument together with the church.

The tower holds the original bells from 1513 and 1535, the latter cast by master bell-founder Jakub Ptáček, plus a small bell added in 1942. The older tower on the site was considered Gothic and resembled the massive prismatic tower at Stará Voda. The tower and St. George Church were jointly declared a cultural monument in 1958.

The tower stands southwest of St. George Church, and its entrance faces north, toward the church. The lower walls taper inward and were covered with boards until 1978, when shingles replaced them. The bell section keeps vertical walls clad in smoothed boards, each with a rectangular bell window.

The 1942 tower uses a štenýř construction: four corner posts braced by diagonals set across the interior rather than in the wall planes, an improved version of the Lučice bell-tower principle. These spatial braces resist both the swinging of the bells and secondary transverse vibrations. The lower walls taper inward and were covered with boards until 1978, when shingles replaced them.
