The article is devoted to the defensive bell tower of the 17th century in Sulichеvka. This monument is unique and has no analogues in Ukraine. An analysis of the available material showed that the bell tower was built not later than the end of the 17th century. Initially, it was part of the complex construction of a fortified manor. From the manor there was a small ditch from the north side and a tower. In the 18th century the tower and manor lost their defensive purpose. On the site of the estate in the late 18 century a church was built. Initially, the church and the bell tower stood separately from each other. However, in 1894 they were connected by a corridor. The tower plays the role of the bell tower today. In the early 2000's it was restored, but very poorly. This led to an excess of moisture and a crack in the basement of the tower.
