*Links:

In the Dutch Wikipedia, a very brief text-only article says that the building was constructed in 1961, and a separate bell tower was erected in Sep.1962.

A page about the building has several photos of the tower, but the bells are not described.

Where this work lies in the sequence of output of the Eijsbouts bellfoundry, in this region and in the world.
