*Links:

The Swedish Wikipedia article about the building doesn't mention any bells.
Only three photos photos from Wikimedia Commons adequately show the glass-walled belfry along the roofridge of the building:  #1#2#3

A Facebook post (Oct.2020) about these bells has three photos of them plus one of a tower clock to strike the hours (but without an external face).

Where this work lies in the sequence of output of unknown bellfoundries, in this region and in the world.
