Historic Belfry - Part of UWH

This tower, dating from 1209, is one of the oldest belfries in France. Miraculously, only the upper part was destroyed in 1940, while the town collapsed under the bombing raids.

Restored in 1986, it contains two bells brought back from Boufakir (Algeria) by Max Lejeune, mayor of the town at the time. A weather vane on the top represents Guillaume Talvas, Count of Ponthieu, who granted the burghers the right to constitute the town as a community in 1130.
