The origin of the stone tower is not documented, it is assumed that it was built in connection with the promotion of the village of Ompitál to a town, probably in the second half of the 16th century as a town tower. It has a square floor plan measuring 4.5 x 4.5 m and a height of 18.2 m. It served as a bell tower and perhaps also as an observation tower before the unexpected enemy invasion during the war. Unlike thousands of other towers, this tower also has one unique peculiarity. It is its location above the flowing stream.

Juraj Fándly writes about this uniqueness in his history Dolian with a slight patriotism as an admirable European rarity, because "neither Vienna, nor Paris, nor Rome has such a rarity"
