Oberösterreichische Glocken- und Metallgießerei, Bell foundry in Sankt Florian, Austria

The Upper Austrian Bell and Metal Foundry operates in a protected heritage building with specialized casting facilities for producing bronze bells.

Founded in 1917, the foundry met the demand for new bells after World War I, casting 1,618 bells before Austria's annexation in 1938.

The foundry created Austria's most notable bell, the New Pummerin, which weighs 20,130 kg and rings from St. Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna.

The foundry building now houses the Technology and Innovation Center of St. Florian, preserving its industrial heritage while serving new purposes.

The second casting attempt of the New Pummerin succeeded on September 5, 1951, after the first attempt failed on October 26, 1950.

Location: Sankt Florian
