The bells of St. Matthias

Midday bells chiming at the 14th-century Matthias Church in Budapest. The church has 7 bells. Six of them are located in the bell tower and the last damaged bell hangs in the cavalry tower. Three of the tower's bells are historic bells (from years 1723, 1724 and 1891). The church received four new bells in 2010, and at that time the St. Károly bell sound correction took place. The sound is colossal and impressive. 

UNESCO listing: Budapest, including the Banks of the Danube, the Buda Castle Quarter and Andrássy Avenue
