Historic Building & Belfry - Part of UWH

The medieval Belfry, a World Heritage Site, is an attractive, uniquely free standing, 58m/190ft high belfry that dates back to the 13th century that was later made taller in 1440.

Finely decorated with Gothic styles arches it was originally built by the Bishop of Cambrai as a beacon for the community. It once served as the bell-tower to Eglis (church) St-Éloi but the church burned to the ground in 1558 effectively leaving the belfry as a separate entity.
