Bells
Roman Tower






The six historic bells in the northern Roman Tower
Six of the historic bells at St. Stephen’s Cathedral hang in a huge wooden belfry, parts of which date back to the Middle Ages. Both belfry and bells survived the cathedral fire because this part did not catch fire. The bells are rung individually after evening prayer from Thursday to Sunday and alltogether on Saturdays and Sundays before vespers at 5 p.m. These bells are of great historic and musical value.
