In the Novgorod Kremlin there are five ancient monumental bells and the belfry itself houses bells of modern casting. Now the belfry houses the exhibition “Ancient Bells of Veliky Novgorod”. The largest bell exhibited weighs over 20 poods (about 705 pounds, or 320 kg), and the smallest one is over 1.5 poods (about 53 pounds, or 24 kg).
