lower belfry

Very nice place. Stumbled upon him by accident. Then he came repeatedly to plunge into the history of the Middle Ages.

The brick prismatic belfry adjacent to the ruins of the Minorite monastery is beautiful in its simplicity. The original wooden belfry is mentioned in written sources in 1627 and documented in drawing on the city plan from 1680. It stood on the site of the former old provostship. In today's brick form comes from the first third of the 19th century. It has a raised ground floor, accessible by an external staircase, on the bell floor are embedded neo-Gothic vaulted windows, the building is completed with a fixed roof. Inside, fragments of the stone elements of the collapsed monastery are allegedly stored. In the bell tower there is a bell called "Ave Maria" by Master Rudger from 1322. The lower diameter of the bell is 123 cm, and it bears a Latin inscription with a date. It is the second oldest Czech bell with a date and one of the oldest bells with the name of the bellmaker. When the monastery was devastated by the Hussites in 1420, the bell disappeared. It was not until 1799 that he accidentally dug out of the rubble and placed on a new belfry.

The rest of the monastery burnt by the Hussites

Nice piece of history. I had a good feeling here.

A beautiful place full of history.
