Tour de l'horloge de Beaune
Tour de l'horloge de Beaune, Medieval clock tower in Beaune, France
The clock tower combines its square base with a structured facade featuring stone walls, Gothic-style windows, and architectural details from the 13th century.
Built in the late 1300s, the tower gained its clock mechanism in 1397 through funding from salt taxes authorized by Duke Philip the Bold.
The tower's bells have marked significant events in Beaune since 1407, serving as a central timekeeper for local merchants and residents.
Visitors can observe the clock's mechanisms and access different levels of the tower, which includes a vaulted cellar and five distinct floors.
During evening hours, the tower's facade transforms into a canvas for specialized video projections that highlight its architectural features.
