The peace carillon consists of ten bronze bells, together weighing 611 kilograms. All bells bear a name and a line from the text that the poet Willem K. Coumans wrote especially for this carillon.
The heaviest bell is named after the main donor of the carillon, Vincent Simone. On the 9 other bells are the names of fallen resistance fighters from Limburg.
