the bells are ringing in the mountain



The bell tower is situated in the unique locality of Horečky in Beskydy mountains, Czech Republic. Antonín Bača Horečka, the person most responsible for the inception of the municipality of Trojanovice in 1748 and its independent administration, comes from the Rekovice public house. Kamil Mrva Architect's site was chosen intentionally - the bell tower is to symbolise the struggle against the potentates of the mining lobby, whose plans threaten the municipality’s historical and future values. The Architects have combined the modern appearence and traditional craftmanship used to build the bell tower to symbolise the vision of a better future as well as a return to traditional values.
