Nieuwe Toren, Kampen, Clock tower in Kampen, Netherlands
The Nieuwe Toren reaches upward with a stone base structure and wooden lantern top, featuring four clock faces and a carillon of 48 bells.
Construction of the tower began in 1649 after a hospital chapel fire, with architect Philips Vingboons designing the distinctive wooden crown completed in 1664.
The carillon bells, cast by François Hemony in 1663, ring through the city center with musical performances every Monday morning and Saturday afternoon.
Visitors can climb the tower during Kamper Ui(t) Days between 10:00 and 17:00, accessing viewing platforms that overlook the medieval city center.
The wooden lantern design by Vingboons was originally intended for Amsterdam City Hall, now the Royal Palace on Dam Square.
