In Latvia, more than 1,000 bells are displayed in the Museum of Bells in the old stable house of the 15th-century Blankenfelde Manor (Jelgava district, Vilce parish, Blankenfelde, LV-3026, Latvia; phone +371 27810348, http://blankenfeldes muiza.lv/en).
From around the world, the bells vary in age, style and material — commemorative bells, figural bells, gongs and even bells recast from metal from Lenin monuments. Including a tour, a museum visit costs €3 adult or €2 senior or student, and you must call in advance.
Blankenfelde Manor offers overnight stays in four renovated rooms above the museum. Per night, €44 (near $50) for two people or €29, single. Breakfast, €3 with advance notice.
