Historic Belfry - Part of UWH

BEFFROI DE DOULLENS

The present belfry, built at the beginning of the 17th century, was the headquarters of the aldermen’s council (present Town Council). Cardinal Richelieu, then Louis XIV and his son paid tribute to the belfry, which was a watch tower, guardian of the community bell, prison and chapel at the same time. A tower in the same style as the façade surmounts the building, symbolising the community’s freedom.
