Belfry of Abbeville, Medieval bell tower in Abbeville, France
The stone tower rises 40 meters above the city center, featuring Gothic architectural elements and a rectangular base with four corner turrets.
The construction of this municipal symbol began in 1209, making it one of the first belfries built in northern France as a representation of civic power.
The structure now contains the Boucher-de-Perthes Museum, which presents collections of prehistoric artifacts and regional historical objects from the Somme Valley.
Visitors need to make reservations for guided tours of the belfry, with entrance fees of 4 euros per adult and specific closure dates on major holidays.
The belfry underwent reconstruction in 1986 after sustaining damage during the 1940 bombings, which destroyed its original medieval roof structure.
