Zvonice stojící poblíž kostela sv. Mikuláše merila puvodne jen 20 m a mela strmou stanovou strechu. Byla vybudována vedle bývalé školy na zrušeném hrbitove, kde byla i kostnice. V r.1865 byla zvonice zvýšena o 11 m a byla na ni usazena banatá kopule o výšce 17 m. Celkove tedy dosáhla výška zvonice 45 m. Schodište má 130 drevených schodu.

Kopule byla znicena pri náletu na Dobrany 17.4.1943, kdy bylo zniceno všech pet zvonu ve zvonici. Následne v roce 1944 byla na místo cibulovité báne zhotovena jehlanová helmice, která byla v roce 2000 nahrazena replikou pseudobarokní cibulovité báne.

V soucasné dobe jsou ve zvonici tri zvony a vežní hodiny z roku 1870.
