Bell

On the neck of the bell are two lines of illegible inscription enclosed between three raised profiles. Below, there is a frieze with a motif of acanthus leaves. On the body, a Swedish/?/ coat of arms, held by two lions, along with an extensive inscription, indicates that the bell originates from the fortress of Ivangorod, located opposite Narva (Estonia).

It was cast to commemorate the victory of Swedish King Charles XII over Tsar Peter the Great, achieved on November 20, 1700. It was dedicated to the Apostle James the Greater. The current placement of the bell does not allow for a complete reading of this inscription. Above the wreath are four raised profiles, and on it, also between the profiles, are two lines of mostly illegible inscription.

Originally, the object was located in Ivangorod by Narva in Estonia. Before World War II, it was transported to Gdańsk, where in 1945, due to a fall from one of the towers, it was damaged. It was then placed in its current location.
