There is no date on the bells. Various customs are still observed in connection with the bells, which are rung here three times in the day. There is a morning bell rung according to the season, from 6 a.m. in the summer, then at 6.30, and in the winter at 7, also at 12 o'clock noon, and the curfew at 8 p.m. These bells may be a survival of the Angelus bell.
