In the summer of 2009, technical problems with the previous bell were discovered. The three bells cast in 1959 by the Monasterium Eijsbouts company were found to have broken off in the area of the crowns. The cause was the iron reinforcements cast into the crowns at the time, which now endangered the long-term durability. These can rust, the rust then acts like a detonator and this can lead to the bells crashing. Three new bells (chimes h ¹ , d ² and e ² ) were cast at the company Petit & Gebr. Edelbrock in Gescher and put back into operation in time for Easter 2010.
