The St. Peter and Paul church tower at Beuerberg Monastery in Bavaria has ended a three-year period of silence following the installation of four new, freshly cast bells. 

The replacement was required after a safety crisis in 2023, when two bolts on the largest 4.4-ton bell snapped, posing a danger of the bell falling. The new bells were brought to the village via horse-drawn carriages in a festive procession. Cardinal Reinhard Marx, the Archbishop of Munich and Freising, performed the formal consecration during a service, describing the installation as a “once-in-a-century event.”
