The old bell cast by Ciprianus Krans in Amsterdam in 1746 survived the Second World War and was hung beneath the four-sided dome roof of the new bell tower. But it was stolen in 1975. In 1979, the bell tower was renovated and equipped with a new bell, which was replaced by a heavier one in 2003. The bell tower is a protected monument. It stands in the village graveyard, which is on raised ground in Tsjerkhofleane on the west side of the village.
