The Gunilla bell (Gunillaklockan) at the castle hill. Uppsala, Sweden, Scandinavia.


The bell was donated by Queen Gunilla Bjelke at the end of the 16th centura and was originally a chapel bell. It is still rung twice every day, a reminder of the times when townspeople were warned not to carry unprotected lanterns on the streets at night.
