    Bells are still cast here today.

    Hiking

    The history of Petit & Gebr. Edelbrock's 325-year-old bell foundry tradition finds its origins in the middle of the 17th century. The first verifiable traces appeared with the end of the Thirty Years' War in Lorraine, where many bell-founding families were based.

    At this time, the problem of transporting heavy bells had not yet been solved, which meant that the bells had to be cast at their final destination. Three of these “wandering” bell-founding families were the Hemonys, Julliens and Petits.
