Westphalian Bell Museum Gescher

On an area of about 465 m², the museum shows a display collection of about 1,000 pieces of bells, bells and jingles from different centuries and materials. A special highlight is the oldest surviving "sugar loaf bell" in Westphalia from the 12th century. But the four beehive bells from the collegiate church in Vreden also delight visitors. 1,100 years after their destruction, they have been elaborately reconstructed by experts. Not only the bells are on display, but also historical documents, photos and films.

You can also imagine the work of a bell founder at a faithfully reconstructed workplace. The museum also has its own brass foundry. This is used for demonstration purposes, among other things.
