The Bell tower at the church in Hinte dates back to the 13th century. Its original church was destroyed in the early 15th century and at its position the currently still standing Hinter Kirche was build in the second half of the 15th century. The tower has bells which can be heard every night at 18:00 (6:00 pm) for miles. The two different tones of the bells are achieved by different sizes, but more so by the use of different metals from which the bells were cast.
