Fodor's Expert Review Glockenspiel

This famous carillon bell tower is perched on top of the Neue Residenz (New Residence), Prince-Archbishop Wolf-Dietrich's government palace. The carillon is a later addition, brought from today's Belgium in 1695 and finally put in working order in 1704. The 35 bells play classical tunes (usually by Mozart or Haydn) with charm and ingenuity at 7 am, 11 am, and 6 pm. On Sunday at 11:45 am, musicians perform in the "Trumpeter Tower" at Hohensalzburg Fortress, and their Baroque fanfares can be heard across the Old City. Details about the music selections are listed on a notice board across the square on the corner of the Residenz building.
