Historic Building & Belfry - Part of UWH

HÔTEL DE VILLE & BEFFROI DE COMINES

After a preliminary tower, the Cröy family, lords of Comines, ordered the building of a town hall and a belfry, which was completed in 1623. In 1857, the upper part of the building began to lean dangerously. In just a few hours, a master carpenter succeeded in straightening the frame. In 1918, the Germans dynamited this listed monument. The architect Louis-Marie Cordonnier rebuilt it exactly as before, replacing the wooden framework with reinforced concrete.
