The four posts, apron-shaped roof and two bells arranged one above the other give the bell tower a clearly identifiable form. It stands in the garden of the Catholic church and is an important feature of the village’s appearance. It is thought to have been built around the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. This date differs from that of the Fogolykiváltó Boldogasszony church, which was built in 1949–1950. It was erected in honour of Fogolykiváltó Boldogasszony. Those interested in architectural history can thus consider two different dates and buildings in the context of the village.
