UK and Europe Roadtrip - Ghent

You can see left of the artwork (left photo) that there is still a lot of restoration work to be done. As we left St Nicholas Church we noticed the large bell by the gardens (right). The church tower was the site of the town bells until The Belfry of Ghent was built. This bell is known as ‘The Triumphant’ or ‘The Roeland’, after the first large bell at The Belfry. The bell cracked in 1914, restored then displayed here.
