Salzburg Cathedral Bell Towers - Salzburg, Austria - Bell Towers on Waymarking.com

"The side towers are divided into three units, too. They bear clocks and the bells of the Salzburger Dom. They were presented to Salzburg in a ceremony held by Prince Archbishop Paris Lodron in 1628. During the war, all except two were removed until 1961. Ever since then, there are seven bells in the Dom. The biggest is the "Salvatorglocke" (salvation bell) of 14,256 kilograms. It is the second-biggest bell of Austria."

"The oldest bells in the cathedral are the Marienglocke and theVirgilglocke, which were both cast in 1628.

On 24 September 1961, 5 new bells were added. The Salvator bell of the cathedral is the 2nd largest bell in Austria, after the Pummerin bell in Vienna Cathedral."
