In Bogense, you will often hear beautiful melodies. It's the carillon at the Bogense Town Hall playing beautiful music, and there are many different tunes as the playlist is changed every month.

The carillon is in the tower of Bogense Town Hall and consists of 18 bells.

The carillon was a gift to Bogense on the occasion of its 700th anniversary as a market town in 1988. It was inaugurated on July 2, 1988 by Her Majesty Queen Margrethe II. The main donation came from the fisherman Aksel Damgård and his wife Bertha Damgård, and the Funen County also donated money to the gift. The rest of the amount was collected by the town's citizens.

The carillon was delivered from the Netherlands by the company Koninklijke Klokkengieterij Petit & Fritsen B.V.
