These two large church bells are located left of the main entrance in the churchyard of Witterswil. They are large bronze bells with crosses at the body and some decorations and inscriptions at the shoulders. The smaller one is dedicated to St. Michael. The larger one is too fainted to read. I am not even sure if these are letters at all.
The church was built in 1641 and renovated in 1983. The pedestal under the bells says 1969; there is no documentation on site, and I could not find any other information about these bells, either.
