City Hall and Belfry, Bailleul

In 2005 the Belfry at the heart of Ballieul was recognised by Unesco as being one of the most important historic monuments in the region. Towering above the rest of the small houses and places of business in the heart of the community, the ancient belfry is a masterpiece of local design, fusing some of the classical ecclesiastical styles with some more localised building practices, forming a fascinating end project.
