Karlskirche and Carillon

Nice insights into the silk streets of the pedestrian zone.

The Karlskirche in Kassel is a Protestant church. The baroque church built by Paul du Ry was consecrated in 1710. The Karlskirche served the community of the Kassel Huguenots as a place of worship. The octagonal building is on Frankfurter Strasse. After being severely damaged in the Second World War, it was reconstructed in a simplified form. On Easter Sunday 1957, a carillon consisting of 35 bells was inaugurated. The bells were cast by Friedrich Wilhelm Schilling in Heidelberg. In 1989 and 1995 the carillon was expanded and now has a range of four octaves and has 47 bells. They play several pieces of music on Sundays that are easy to hear in the area.

Great carillon on Sunday morning.
