netherlands carillon印象
-
We visited in April so appropriately, all the beautiful tulip beds were in full bloom. This carillon is sited close to the Iwo Jima Marine monument and is worth a look at.
-
Listened to the pealing of the Carillon while visiting the Marine Corps Memorial, a nice touch to a sobering monument.
-
This carillion is at Iwo Jima Memorial. If you hear it, great, but not anything to go out of the way for. While here visit JFK Eternal Flame, Changing of the Guard, Robt E Lee's Custis Lee mansion.
-
An interesting carillon (bell tower) not far from the Iwo Jima memorial. Likely to be something you'll see driving by, as there's no real parking nearby.

Set on a hill on the other side of the Potomac, this prominent structure celebrates the friendship of the Dutch and Americans after the liberation from Nazi occupation during World War II. The gratitude for the American contribution to this process is symbolized by a full set of bells that chime periodically throughout the day and evening. The 50th bell was dedicated in during the first Clinton term on the 50th anniversary of the liberation. Turning from the monument toward Washington opens a beautiful vista of the Capital. All of the major monuments as well as the Capitol Dome and orange roof tops of key governmental buildings are part of an unforgettable picture. Take time to relax and enjoy the view.

The monument itself isn't that beautiful, though it impresses for the height.It is a gift from the Netherlands government a few decades ago for their ties with the US and American aid on th World War II.Didn't hear the carillon working, must be nice, with its 49 old + 1 new bell - there is a toten with its history written down on it.The highs are: the bucolic environment around; plenty of space to sit; the shadow under the sun.It's worth to visit it, because it's in between the Marine Corps Memorial and the Arlington National Cemetery, which leads the attraction to an almost must-go standard.

If you have a chance, go to the Carillon for Sunrise Service. When I was in high school, our choir often sang, and it was a wonderful, magical experience.

I really like this. It's a great spot with a great view, and if you can play the bells, you can climb up and do so! This is an excellent DC viewing point. I love to bring people here.

If if would not have been considered impolite, I'd have sent it back to the Netherlands. Early industrial wasteland is not a style of architecture that sits well with me.Turn right on the path before you reach it and you'll get to the iconic Iwo Jima Memorial.

The official website leads one to believe that there is a daily recording of the bells played at noon. On the day we visited, there were no bells played so we improvised with our i-phones to hear a concert....Sadly the tower is in poor shape and needs some tender loving care. The biggest attraction is its proximity to the Iwo Jima Memorial, and the view, along with 2 large statues that are good for climbing and posing. If the website were updated to accurately list when we could actually hear the bells, there would certainly be more of a reason to visit.
