Ilavska mestska zvonica bola povodne jednoposchodova so stvorcovym podorysom 7x7 metrov. Pravdepodobne ju dali postavit Ostrozicovci. Roku 1622 pri velkom poziari, ktoremu padli za obet viacere domy, bola poskodena a vsetky zvony sa roztavili. V roku 1625 si llavcania kupili novy zvon, dalsie darovali Ostrozicovci. Dalsi poziar bol roku 1695, pricom zhorela strecha zvonice, no zvony sa zachranili. Nakladnou barokovou prestavbou presla zvonica aj v roku 1758. Za peniaze knaza, absolventa viedenskej univerzity, doktora filozofie Andreja Najzera bolo pristavene druhe poschodie s banatou barokovou strechou. Na konci 19. storocia, opat po poziari, ktory novu umelecku strechu poskodil, nahradili strechu jednoduchou strechou v tvare ihlana, ktora je na zvonici dodnes.
