An English-language announcement of a carillon festival includes a photo in the belfry.

An old Google StreetView image shows the church facade before it was painted.
A contributed Google StreetView image from Mar.2017 shows the church facade appearing newly painted.
Another contributed Google StreetView image, from Oct.2019, shows that the new paint continued around the south sower but not to the rest of the church.

The Lithuanian Wikipedia article about the church has current and historical photos of it, and mentions the acquisition of the carillon in 2015.  The linked article (in Lithuanian) about the carillon is brief, and provides no new information.

Where this work lies in the sequence of output of the Eijsbouts bellfoundry, in this region and in the world.
