The Grassmayr family has been making bells for fourteen generations. This museum charts 400 years of history and tradition. True to a long-standing practice in the craft, bells are still moulded out of clay, alloyed with minerals and then shaped into the final product. Grassmayr Bellmakers take over two months to make a large church bell.The museum gives a detailed account of the history and process of bell-making. To round off your visit, take a detour to the bell room. The magic tones of the bells is quite an experience, and you can also see the bell mechanism in action at close range.

Hop on to a tour of the Bell Museum and see for yourself the 400 years and 14 generations of bell making history. See for yourself, molten metal flowing into moulds and then cast into huge bells.

The sound room here will surely make a thousand bells ring in your ears, so much that you would see bells even where there ain't any!
