The belfry (French: beffroi) of Tournai, Belgium, is a freestanding bell tower of medieval origin, 72 meters in height with a 256-step stair. This landmark building is one of a set of belfries of Belgium and France registered on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
Construction of the belfry began around 1188 when King Philip Augustus of France granted Tournai its town charter, conferring among other privileges the right to mount a communal bell to ring out signals to the townsfolk. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belfry_of_Tournai) |
