Paccard and the bronze bell

The Paccard museum is a place for fun, entertainment, and education. It’s the place where you can appreciate the work of the ancient generations of Paccard's foundry, and where you can have all the details regarding our beautiful state-of-the-art bells.

The bell is a tool that has been originally created to alert people or animals (in farms) about a specific event (end of the course in schools, start of the prayer in churches, etc.). With Paccard, the bell proved its worth, by becoming a musical creation instrument. Today, Ars Sonora, an entity of Paccard, designs peals of bells (carillons) used for the decoration of parks, universities, streets, etc… These bells are internationally-reputed and have been installed in several countries. On the other hand, the Paccard Bell Foundry manufactures bronze bells for churches and houses. These bells are robust and offer a pleasant soft sound.
If you are looking for a bell for your house or a peal of bells for your city, then you can come to visit our museum.
