[FR] Le beffroi comporte quatre étages avec superposition d'ordres : ordre toscan au rez de chaussée, puis, successivement, ordre dorique, corinthien et composite. Certains de ses éléments sont typiques de l'architecture flamande, comme le triangle faîtier du pignon "à pas de moineau". La flèche du beffroi est agrémentée d'un campanile et de quatre petits clochetons. Le carillon, installé en 1716 rythme toujours la vie de la cité.
[EN] The belfry is made up of 4 floors with superimposed columns : the tuscan column on the ground floor, then in order, doric and then corinthian columns and a composite column on the top. The carillon was installed in 1716 and is still working today.
