Toren van Goedereede

The Toren van Goedereede (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈtoːrə(ɱ) vɑŋ ˌɣudəˈreːdə];[a] Goederede Tower) is a gray square brick tower in Goedereede, Netherlands, 39.5 metres (130 ft) high, belonging to the Catharina church.

The original tower was part of a large parish church in the then-prosperous fishing and trading port.

Adriaan Florenszoon Boeyens (1459–1523), the future Pope Adrian VI, was pastor of the church.

[2] A large bell that sounded the hours was cast in 1519, with the Latin inscription, Est mea vox grata, quia sum Maria vocata et Georgius Waghevens Me fecit Anno Domini MCCCCCXVIII (My voice is welcome, because I am called Maria and George Waghevens made Me in the year of our Lord 1518.)

[2] In April 2011 the Dutch Carillon Society organized an international competition for carilloneurs, each of whom had twelve minutes to perform.
