Bell Tower on Torgers Island, Tønsberg |
Norway Attractions and Hotels
Region Vestfold is famous for a great variety of
things, be it the case of historical or cultural events, but among these, this
region is famous for its... bells. Tønsberg, which is located in Vestfold,
hosts the only Norwegian bell foundry. There is no surprise that the bells
(including church bells) in this region are impressive. For example, the Bell Tower
on Torgers Island presents a very heavy bell (that
weights around 800 kg), a bell that was manufactured in 1910 and restored once
since then, in 1992.
