Beautiful view.

Beautiful historical wooden belfry under the castle Litice.

The impressive small wooden scorpion bell tower probably dates from the third third of the 18th century. You will find it near the cottage No. 2, in the place where the road to the castle begins to climb. The exact date of the foundation of the bell tower is not confirmed by any historical document, but its oldest known depiction so far is from 1883 in August Sedláček's book "Castles, Fortresses and Chateaux of the Czech Lands". It was probably created as a part of period fire-fighting measures after the issuance of the so-called fire patent by Maria Theresa in 1751. Its location on a hill in the center of the village also corresponds to this purpose. In 1917, the bell tower was removed by the Austrian authorities for military purposes. The most extensive repairs were carried out in the spring of 1949. During this reconstruction, care was taken to preserve the original character of the building and it was decided to equip the bell tower with a new bell. It was made by Bělohoubek in Hradec Králové and weighs 36 kg. In 2017, the bell tower was entered in the catalog of the National Monuments Institute.
