Summary

[edit]
Description

Sofia Belfry

Fourteen ancient bells are on display at the permanent display on the first floor of the Novgorod Kremlin's Sofia belfry.

Among the displays is the famous 700-kilo "plague bell" from the belfry of the Znamensky Cathedral. It was cast back in the 15th century in the days of Ivan the Terrible when the plague claimed the lives of about 86% of the population of Veliky Novgorod. Survivors had a special bell cast, to warn the town-folk of an approaching epidemic.
