Norway Hamar carillon

The carillon consists of 24 bells and spans two octaves, they are of different sizes and weigh from 29 to 680 kilos. A total of 3.8 tonnes.

The clock tower was designed by architect Tor Kraft in Hamar and the clocks are programmed to mark every hour from 09.00 to 21.00. First, a time signal composed by Bjørn Sverre Kristensen is played, then the chimes come followed by a melody. Every three hours, a slightly longer melody is played, which varies with the season.

The bells can also be played manually via a keyboard, and it is possible to play concerts. The clock tower in Hamar was officially put into use on 25 May 2004. The clock tower was a gift for the town's 150th anniversary in 1998. The financing of the clock tower and discussion about location meant that it took time before the clock tower came up. Today, the carillon and its location are a landmark and unique to Hamar.
