Belfry of Loos, Medieval bell tower in Loos, France.
The Belfry of Loos rises prominently above the town center, featuring traditional northern French architectural elements with a rectangular stone base and pointed roof.
Built during the 15th century, this municipal tower served as a watchtower, treasury vault, and meeting place for the town council throughout medieval times.
The belfry represents the historical independence of northern French municipalities, joining 55 other towers in Belgium and France as UNESCO World Heritage sites.
Visitors can access the tower through scheduled guided tours, which provide detailed information about its construction and role in the development of Loos.
The bell system within the tower maintains its original mechanical components, marking time for the local community as it has done for several centuries.
