About
The Bell Museum, Olsen Nauen Bell Foundry Norway's only existing bell foundry which was established in 1844, lies 6 km north of Tonsberg centre. Northern Europe's largest manual carillon was manufactured here. Here at Nauen the 4.000 kilo bell for Oslo Town Hall was cast in 1948, and also in 1944 Norway's largest church bell for the Nidaros Cathedral. For groups, guided tours with commentary and slides, and possible casting in the foundry.
