Confusingly, some of the pictures on the wikipedia page for 'Klockstapel'
(Swedish) are not towers but open structures (and not very tall structures at
that). Similarly 'Klokkestabel' (Danish). Are these towers at all? They look
like the kind of thing which the bell_cage proposal was intended to cover (and
which have been used for such free-standing, non-tower bells here in the
Netherlands (Dutch: 'Klokkenstoel').

I notice that the Dutch wikipedia page for Klokkenstoel links to a German
wikipedia page for Glockenstuhl.
