“Stands Majestic”
The bells were ringing and it was glorious.
This Carillon stands tall and white against the blue skies and beautiful green landscape, it looked truely majestic.

“A lovely spot on the lake”
You can park right at the footbridge that leads over to the island where the Carillon stands. There are concerts at given times which you'll have to check, but just the walk around the small island...

“Sweet sounds”
