Bruges, Belgium - View from the Castle Square to the Belfry
The Belfry has a height of 83 m. Its carillon has 47 different bells with a total weight of 27 tons. The Belfry served as a watch tower (each bell had a distinct sound and function) and it was a safe place to keep official documents and money.
The origin of the Belfry dates back to 1240. But there were several partial destructions by fire in the 13th, 15th and 18th centuries.
We climbed up the 366 steps to enjoy the view on the city. But above a very cold wind blew and the clouds hindered a brighter view. Nevertheless, next week I'll share with you one or two photos from above.
Der Belfried (Glockenturm) hat eine Höhe von 83 m. Sein Carillon umfasst 47 verschiedene Glocken mit einem Gesamtgewicht von 27 Tonnen. Der Belfried diente sowohl als Wachtturm, wobei die verschiedenen Glocken die verschiedensten Signale geben konnten, als auch als sicherer Aufbewahrungsort für offizielle Dokumente und Geld.
Der Bau des Belfrieds geht auf das Jahr 1240 zurück. Jedoch gab es wiederholt (teilweise) Zerstörungen durch Feuer im 13., 15. und 18. Jahrhundert.
Wir sind die 366 Stufen des Turms hinaufgestiegen, um den Blick auf die Stadt zu genießen. Oben blies jedoch ein sehr kalter Wind, und die Wolken verhinderten eine schöne, freundliche Sicht. Dennoch werde ich nächste Woche ein oder zwei Fotos von dort posten.
