The Dutch Wikipedia article about the building is very brief, and says nothing about the bells.

The monument register for this building (1966) reported three bells in the tower - two modern and one by H.Berman, 1608, diameter 1124mm.

Where this work lies in the sequence of output of the vanBergen bellfoundries, in this region and in the world.
