Weerter Carillon
What does the carillon of St Martinus sound like?
The Martinus Church is also unique because of the carillon (or chime) high up in the tower lantern. The fully computer-controlled carillon has a total of 49 bells with a combined weight of over 20 tonnes.
Besides an automatic carillon that plays every half hour just before the clock strikes, there is also, since 1992, a hand-played carillon. The Weerter Carillon is a full concert instrument ranking among the top in Europe. Frank Steijns is the city carillion player of Weert, as well as of Maastricht and Heerlen, and he is also a violinist in the famous André Rieu’s orchestra.
This is a faithful replica of the tower lantern with its chimes. After inserting a coin a choice of melodies can be made.
