History

The John Bell was prepared for the church in 1486. The bigger, 4-tonns Urban Bell was made in 1584 in Tarnow, Poland. This was created for community purposes, such as signaling natural disasters (fire, flood, storm), approaching enemies, the arrival of important visitor or the election of the mayor. Both bells cracked in 1990 during the last renovation of the church between 1986 and 1999. After having been restored, they were placed on the square south of the sanctuary of the church.
