Chimes in Europe:
index by year of completion

Great Britain and Ireland are separately indexed, as are Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy and the Netherlands.

The table below is an index to 156 existing European chimes, in order by year of completion (to the current number of bells), unknown first.  Instruments which were completed in the same year are listed in order by the city name without regard to the exact date on which the installation was finished.  Not listed here are 4 Spanish and Swiss peals of assorted bells from a variety of founders, accumulated over a period of centuries.

After the year, a letter indicates that it is

C - when the complete instrument was installed;
E - when the instrument was enlarged from its previous size;
