BEFFROI DE TOURNAI
The belfry of Tournai, is a freestanding bell tower of medieval origin, 72 meters in height with a 256-step stair. A fire damaged the building in 1391. In the following years, the city obtained new bells to replace the ruined ones. The largest bell of this period, called Bancloque, and the fire bell or Timbre, have been preserved to this day. A carillon was added in 1535.
