Lier town hall

The town hall features a slender belfry from 1369 and displays prominent Rococo design elements on its main building from the eighteenth century.

Construction of the original structure began in 1369, and the building survived the 1914 German bombardment while numerous surrounding structures were destroyed.

The building serves as both the administrative center and a symbol of municipal authority, with its belfry participating in the UNESCO World Heritage collection.

The tourist office located inside the town hall provides information about local attractions and maintains regular opening hours throughout the week.

A brass meridian line near the building marks the location where nineteenth-century astronomer Adolphe Quetelet conducted solar measurements using the structure.
