Forged from weapons used by Russia in Ukraine, the “bell of freedom” now rings from the north tower of the Church of the Holy Saviour next to the Charles Bridge. Formally handed over by the Dutch royal couple in June, it was blessed last week by priest Tomáš Halík in a ceremony attended by the Ukrainian, Dutch, and Danish ambassadors.
The bell, christened Salvátor during the ceremony, weighs 198 kilograms and measures 69 centimetres in diameter.
