Carillon bells return to Amsterdam's Westertoren, but chimes won't ring out until June
Several dozen carillon bells were put back in place in the Westertoren in Amsterdam on Tuesday. The tower is part of the Westerkerk, a 17th century church on the border of the Jordaan neighborhood.The largest bell was the first to be hoisted up in the morning. A spokesperson for the municipality said that all 50 bells were expected to be put back in place by the afternoon. Renovation work to refurbish the tower started earlier this year.
