History - Bells

[ Bell Foundry Aarau - Bells  ]

 

Bells unite times and people

Bells have been cast since man started to process metal. As early as 3000 years BC, gongs and bell-like instruments were manufactured. The sound of the bell seems to have always touched the people in a special way. No wonder that bells call to church and to reflection since the middle ages. Be it in a profane or in a churchly function, the sound of the bell has access to our inside, awakens feelings.

In the picture gallery, we show you parts of the history of Swiss bells. Especially noteworthy are:

  • The changing of the geometric form

  • Ornaments of the bells corresponding to the spirit of the time
