The Münster of Berne (German: Berner Münster) is the Gothic cathedral (or minster) of the city of Berne, Switzerland. Construction started in 1421. Its tower with a height of 100 m (328 ft) was only completed in 1893. It is the tallest in Switzerland.
Everyday at noon and 6 p.m., the bells in the tower are rung. You are allowed to climb the tower for a small fee and stand right next to the bells as they ring. The one bell is over 8 ft tall and shakes the room you are in as it swings. To safely stand next to it, one has to cover their ears to insure no hearing damage.
