Klokkengieterij Petit & Fritsen, Historic bell foundry in Aarle-Rixtel, Netherlands.
The Petit & Fritsen foundry creates bells using traditional methods, producing instruments for churches, towers, and public installations throughout Europe.
Established in 1660, the foundry operated as a family business until 2014 when Royal Eijsbouts acquired it and transferred operations to Asten.
The foundry maintains Dutch bell-making traditions through specialized casting techniques, contributing to the preservation of industrial heritage in North Brabant.
Located at Klokkengietersstraat 1 in Aarle-Rixtel, the foundry building from 1907 holds national monument status and accepts guided tours.
The facility contains Europe's last remaining wood-fired casting furnace, demonstrating traditional bronze bell production methods from past centuries.
