Nancy Brown Peace Carillon, Bell tower carillon in Belle Isle, Detroit, United States
The Nancy Brown Peace Carillon stands 98 feet tall with an octagonal shape and neo-Gothic architectural elements near the band shell on Belle Isle.
Built in 1940 with donations from Detroit News readers, the carillon honors journalist Nancy Brown who organized religious sunrise services attracting 50,000 people.
The carillon provides daily musical performances through its 49 bells, contributing to the musical heritage of Belle Isle Park and Detroit.
Visitors can access the carillon within Belle Isle Park throughout the year and listen to scheduled bell performances in an outdoor setting.
Initially using simulated sounds through an organ system, the structure received real bells in 2003, marking a significant upgrade to its musical capabilities.
