Belfry of Armentières, Bell tower at Grand'Place, Armentières, France
The tower reaches 67 meters in height and stands as a central element of the city hall complex in northern France.
Built in 1490 using materials from a demolished castle, the structure underwent reconstruction in 1934 following substantial damage during World War I.
The tower belongs to a collection of 56 belfries across Belgium and France that demonstrate the rise of municipal independence from feudal authorities.
Tours operate on first and third Saturdays from April through October, with individual visits available Tuesday to Friday for groups under 18 people.
From the top platform, reached after climbing 200 steps, visitors observe the Flanders mountains and industrial slag heaps across the landscape.
