It's an archaic place showing very old techniques and plants and ways on how to make a beautiful bell which is to sound well and look impressive for hundreds of years! They have what hardly anybody has: regular customers for hundreds of years 😊. Next to the workshop they show a very interesting exhibition including a beautiful video about how they make bells. Impressive and definitely worth a vis...

We had so much fun at the Bell Museum! It was included with our Innsbruck cards but we would have paid full price for the experience too. All the different ways to experience the sound of bells - through water, through your feet, around your head - and the sound rooms and harmony rooms were transformative. We learned so much and could have stayed there all day enjoying the bells!

When is the best time to visit Glockengießerei Grassmayr (Innsbruck, Austria)?

Visit on a Groß-Guss casting day (monthly) to see large bells cast live and enjoy a complimentary schnaps toast.
