Historic bell casted in 1588 by Queen Gunilla, wife of King Johann III. The original bell was destroyed in a big castle fire in 1702 and was recasted in 1759 to be and placed on Styrbiskop Bastion in its current bell tower to act as a curfew bell. Nowadays, the bell plays a key role for the Walpurgis Night Celebrations as students gather their in the evening for spring addresses and some music.
