Beiaard Belfort (Carillon Belfry)

The Bruges Belfort (belfry) is 83 meters high and contains a carillon with 47 fine-sounding bells, the brass weighing 27 tons in total. The victory bell, which dates from 1680, weighs six tons and has a diameter of two meters. Most of the carillon bells heard today are from the 18th century and have recently been restored. Chiming bells have been heard across the city for over 500 years.
