Historic Belfry - Part of UWH

In 1355, the town’s aldermen were granted the right to built a covered market and erect a "cloquier" (forerunner of the belfry). Made of wood, it burnt several times before being rebuilt in stone.
It collapsed at the beginning of the 18th century due to its dilapidation. Returned to France in 1713 by the treaty of Utrecht, Aire sur la Lys received permission from Louis XIV to build a new belfry in the same year, and this is the one we can admire today.
