Belfry of Mons

Only baroque belfry in Belgium

The Belfry of Mons was built between 1661 and 1672, and recognized by UNESCO in 1999.

The only baroque belfry in Belgium, the building was once associated with the protection of the city. He also appeared as the regulating element of the city life by rhythm, through his carillon, the life of the Montois.

The Belfry is home to an interpretation center dedicated to its history, past and present, and the criteria that have earned it recognition by UNESCO.
