The Great Triumph.
The song 'Klokke Roeland' is almost Ghent's national anthem.
This bell, 'De Grote Triomfante', is also called Roeland, after the first large bell of the Belfry. The clock burst in 1914, after which it was removed from the Belfry. Now she hangs, restored, in the specially designed 'chair' next to the Sint-Niklaaskerk.
