Belfry of Lille, Art Deco belfry in Lille, France

The 104-meter-tall belfry stands as part of the Lille City Hall, combining brick and concrete construction with Art Deco and Flemish neo-renaissance architectural elements.

Architect Émile Dubuisson designed and constructed the belfry between 1924 and 1932 as a workers' monument commissioned by the socialist municipal administration.

The structure earned recognition as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2005, representing the architectural and social values of Northern France in the early 20th century.

Visitors can access the belfry Wednesday through Sunday from 10:00 to 13:00 and 14:00 to 17:30, with guided tours available during morning hours.

The belfry provides a panoramic viewing platform that allows visitors to observe the surrounding landscape up to 50 kilometers in each direction.
