Town hall of Comines, Neo-Flemish town hall in Comines, France.

The town hall of Comines is a Neo-Flemish building of red brick with white stone bands, built 1922–1932 to plans by Louis Marie Cordonnier. A two-storey wing with tall windows, dormers and a steep slate roof adjoins a 58-metre belfry: a 22-metre square brick tower with a slate bulb, two lanterns and a weathervane with a monster's head. A gallery links the two.

A first belfry stood here from the late 13th century, burning in 1382, 1427 and 1579; the tower rebuilt in 1623 was dynamited by German forces in 1918. Louis Marie Cordonnier designed the new town hall, inaugurated in 1929, with the belfry rebuilt to the 1623 form and completed in 1932. The complex was listed as a monument historique in April 2001.

The belfry's top carries a monster-headed weather vane, and the tower is ringed by a walkway with four corner turrets. The 1623 belfry, rebuilt identically after 1918, keeps the square tower and eight-sided bulb of the original.

The town hall faces a paved street in Comines, with the belfry rising beside it; the two are linked by a gallery, so the tower is reached through the building. The belfry is 58 metres tall, its square brick tower 22 metres, topped by an 11-metre eight-sided slate bulb. It is an active administrative centre, so visits fit around municipal office hours.

The belfry's top carries a weather vane with a monster's head, and a walkway ringed by four corner turrets runs around the campanile. The tower is 22 m of brick banded with white stone, crowned by an 11 m eight-sided slate bulb on a concrete frame.
