Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Glockenturm
The tower showcases High Baroque style with its distinctive double onion dome. The copper-clad structure features 35 bells spanning four octaves, with the largest bell weighing over 14 tons.
Access to the belfry level is limited to guided tours. Visitors can view the 17th-century clock mechanism and enjoy panoramic views from the observation platform at 45 meters height.
Mozart was baptized in Salzburg Cathedral beneath the tower. The carillon frequently plays adaptations of his compositions, especially during the annual Mozart Week Festival.
Flash photography is prohibited in the bell chamber to preserve the antique mechanisms. For best shots, use a wide-angle lens from Residenzplatz Square to capture the full 1:2 height-width ratio.
The Salzburg Heritage Foundation conducts annual inspections of the copper roofing and structural beams. A humidity control system protects the wooden bell frames from temperature fluctuations.
Partial access is available via elevator to the cathedral level. The belfry requires climbing 132 narrow steps; alternative virtual tours are offered at the DomQuartier visitor center.
