Today, a total of twelve bells hang in the west tower of Hildesheim Cathedral. The three largest are in the lower belfry in separate belfries.
Nine further bells are located in the upper belfry in two belfries, one of which holds two bells and the other the remaining seven.
What do the bells sound like?
As part of the ‘createsoundscape’ project, young people have recorded the sound of the bells and compiled pictures and information: The bells of Hildesheim Cathedral.
