Beffroi de Thionville, Medieval belfry in Thionville, France

The 45-meter tower combines Gothic elements with a baroque dome, featuring buttresses and medieval windows visible from Rue de la Tour.

Built in the 14th century following the 1239 Charter of Franchise from Luxembourg counts, the current structure dates from Charles V's reign in the 16th century.

The belfry houses four bells, including the two-ton Grande Suzanne, which rings out across Thionville as a symbol of municipal independence.

Visitors can climb 132 steps to reach the bell chamber, with access to the tower available through guided tours from the tourist office.

The clock mechanism, installed in 1859 by Strasbourg clockmaker Schwilgue, continues to mark time for the residents of Thionville.
