Belfry of Thuin, Medieval bell tower in Thuin, Belgium.
The stone belfry rises above the valleys of Sambre and Biesmelle, featuring four observation niches at its summit for panoramic views of the region.
The belfry remains as the last structure of a collegiate church demolished in 1811 when the mayor decided to transform the area into a public space.
The belfry belongs to the UNESCO World Heritage collection of Belfries of Belgium and France, representing municipal power and regional architectural traditions.
The tower opens Tuesday through Friday from 9 AM to 5 PM, with adult admission at 5 euros and reduced rates for children and seniors.
The structure contains a clock mechanism and carillon system that visitors can examine during guided tours lasting approximately 45 minutes.
