A distinguishing hallmark of the settlement called formerly Tehovice and since the 18th century on Tehovičky, was the small bell tower located in the village green in the centre of the settlement. It dates back to around 1650 and consists of a sandstone Tuscany pillar set on a flat square base.
A sandstone square lantern with a roundish roof is placed on the top of the pillar. On the top of the lantern there is a small cross with the crucified body of Jesus Christ. Inside the lantern there hangs a little bell whose ringing had in the past showed the local farmers that it was time for lunch at midday, and in the evening the time to feed the cattle.
