... the "bell tower" of the "Holy Cross Cathedral" in Schwäbisch Gmünd, Baden-Württemberg. - Gmünd Minster has no bell tower - During the construction of Gmünd Minster from 1351 to 1521, the two old Romanesque bell towers collapsed in 1497 (fortunately, without injuring anyone) - After the towers collapsed, there were no plans to build a new bell tower (among other reasons, for cost reasons) - The current "bell tower" was used as a "home" for the fallen bells - Since the bells were installed, the Romanesque building from 1228 has served as a so-called "campanile," i.e., a freestanding bell tower next to the main church building without any structural connection - The bell tower was renovated from 2007 to 2009 - The bell tower houses four bells (Our Lady's Bell, Mary's Bell, and two other bells)
