The English Wikipedia article about the town
is little more than a stub, but it does have a photo that shows the church and octagonal bell tower
of the monastery, prior to its modification for a carillon.
Contributed photos in Google StreetView show that the small round openings in the upper stage
were replaced by larger louvered openings.

of the church and bell tower, from 2012 (before the carillon was installed)
Google StreetView contributed photo, June 2015,
showing a ceremony on the lawn below the bell tower, with three mobile racks of electric-action bells.
Two racks each have 5 P&F-decorated bells, while one has 39 bells; the 4 largest are P&F-decorated,
while the others are plain. This must be the Botvinko family mobile carillon.

clearly on the same date as the above ceremony, but with a different rack of bells visible
just to the right of the tower.

of the same ceremony; a second rack of small bells is on the stage with the two men.

inside the bell chamber, below the bells, with all directed cranks visible; the second-largest bell
also has a free-swinging zvon clapper inside, with rope, & electric hammer outside, but no carillon clapper
(inside or out), so total 52 bells. All carillon clappers have spring returns.
Small bells are decorated, with inscriptions dated 2013. Bells are hung so that three racks of trebles
and upper mids are directly behind three adjacent louvered openings; lower mids & basses are
distributed inside to avoid treble wire-lines.

near the tower, showing possibly a practice keyboard, together with a long rack of small bells,
on a blue-draped platform beyond the bells of the mobile carillon. (Zoom in for details.)
Also a good view of the back side of the three racks of the Botvinko mobile carillon;
the four largest in the center rack are decorated.

inside the bell chamber, with door to the playing cabin open and view of keyboard and straight pedalboard.
Largest bell has free-swinging zvon clapper inside, with rope, & electric hammer outside,
but no carillon clapper (inside or out); all others have dual action, from directed cranks atop the cabin.
The Wikimedia Commons
category for the monastery
has several photos that include the bell tower plus one photo of the bells
and one photo of the directed cranks above the playing cabin.
