Belfry surmounted by a lantern, which now houses the last bell of the city and its three chimes.
In the 17th century, when the belfry was built, the Italian Renaissance made its mark throughout Europe. Favoring horizontality, the Renaissance is therefore by definition opposed to the grandiose verticality of the belfries of the North. This explains why this belfry is "only" 27 meters high. It is surmounted by a lantern, which today houses the last bell of the city and its three chimes. Its originality earned it a place on Unesco's World Heritage List in 2005! It is accessible only on certain days.

Beffroi très discret par rapport à certains autres mais de belle facture.

Bâtiment emblématique des ville du Nord Pas De Calais, le beffroi est un incontournable à admirer et visiter. Celui de Gravelines vaut le détour car il est particulièrement bien restauré.
