The belfry Faaborg is the landmark of the city of Faaborg.
This tower is the remnant of a church dating back to around 1250, the tower itself was built around 1478 and fortunately has been preserved after the church was demolished.
The carillon itself dates back to 1960 and consists of 38 bells, in addition there are two larger bells.

In the center of Faaborg, the bell tower of the town's first church, St. Nicholas' Church, still stands. Today, it is the town's landmark.
When the church, built around 1250, was demolished after the Reformation in 1536,
the bell tower remained standing. It was built somewhat later than the church and therefore required little maintenance. It also served as a navigational aid for sailors.
Today, the bell tower still serves as the bell tower for Faaborg's parish church, Helligåndskirken, which replaced St. Nicholas' Church as the parish church when it was demolished.
A visit to the bell tower offers the opportunity to see the amazing structures of the medieval building up close, with vaulted ceilings and large oak structures that raise the tower to a height of 31 meters.
If you climb to the top of the tower, you will be rewarded with fantastic views over Faaborg and the archipelago.
The carillon, with its 38 bells, was donated in 1960 by wine consultant Andersen of Odense. The bells were cast in Holland.
Today, the carillon plays four times a day using modern digital technology.
The melodies played in the bell tower change throughout the year.
