Many stones and windows are almost 500 years old and have been preserved in their original form. During a guided tour, the doors of several chambers are opened that are otherwise not open to the public, such as the spolia chamber with casts and originals of the sculptures and figures of the tower, as well as the inscription and bell chamber.
With 76 bells, the Red Tower is the largest carillon in Europe. The carillon was installed for the opening of the Handel Festival in 1993 and has a total weight of almost 55 tons. The largest bell bears the name "Dame Handel" - in keeping with the Handel city of Halle - and weighs eight tons.

Statue of Georg Friedrich Händel

Highlight • Monument

In the middle of the market square stands the monument to the city's most famous son. The Handel statue is a central meeting point and exudes a lot of history 🎶🏛️. Surrounded by the market church and the historic ensemble of the city, a short stop here is worthwhile – perfect for a photo 📸 and a moment of Halle's musical and urban history.
