The Seminary's 49-bell carillon was dedicated on November 25, 1970 to serve as a memorial to the pastors of The Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod. It is housed in Luther Tower, which was completed in 1966. The tower was designed and constructed in harmony with the plans first proposed by the Seminary's world-renowned architect, Charles Z. Klauder. It rises 120 feet above the Walther Archway, which serves as its base.

Concordia Seminary is located at 801 DeMun Avenue in suburban Clayton.
