Speeltoren, Monnickendam, Bell tower in Monnickendam, Netherlands
The Speeltoren rises above the city hall of Monnickendam with its white painted facade and mechanical clock displaying the current time.
Built during the initial church construction of 1355, this bell tower remains the sole preserved structure from the original religious complex.
The tower contains fifteen bells forming the Netherlands' first carillon, which continues to sound through the streets of Monnickendam today.
Museum De Speeltoren opens Tuesday through Sunday from April to October, while winter months limit visits to weekends only.
The mechanical Angel of Fame mounted on the tower marks each hour by lifting its trumpet, maintaining this tradition across centuries.
