*Links:

A former Website of the church disappeared in 2006, but an archived version has a photo of the building and tower.  However, the carillon is nowhere mentioned.
The current Website has a photo of the building on the home page.  There is a page about the bells.

Where this work lies in the sequence of output of the Petit & Fritsen bellfoundry, in this region and in the world.
