The bell tower has also survived to the present day. The lower part of this brick building with a pointed arched portal, built around 1280, was originally eight metres high. Its former use is unknown. In 1586 the height was increased and it was rebuilt as a bell tower. In 1989 it suffered damage from a fire; at the end of the 1990s it was restored.
