Historic Belfry - Part of UWH

BEFFROI DE LUCHEUX

Being so close to the Netherlands, Lucheux was formerly surrounded by walls. As the town overflowed its walls, one of its gates was raised to the rank of community tower in 1380. Jeanne d’Arc spent one night there before being taken to Rouen for her execution. It was also in this belfry that Louis XI, who loved hunting in the region, signed the Postal Edict in 1464.
