The Dutch Wikipedia article about the building is very brief, but it does mention the carillon and the previous 10 bells (only Salvator remains in use).  There are two photos of the building.

The Dutch Religious Wiki article about the building is much longer, with many more photos (though only one of the bells).

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