Netherlands Carillon has been a symbol of freedom and friendship between the Netherlands and the U.S. since World War II. The 53 bells of the Netherlands Carillon hang in an open steel tower, a symbol of Dutch regard for the U.S. The carillon’s peaceful setting, with its floral libraries and sculpted lions, is the perfect place to listen to the music of the bells. The grounds of the Netherlands Carillon offer sweeping views of Washington, DC and are often filled with blooming flowers – the tulips in the early spring are especially photogenic.
