The Belfry was built at the beginning of the 15th century on an old watchtower. It was the bell tower of the Saint Eloois church. The tower was separated from the church by a fire in 1558. The brick, Gothic tower, which has been on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 2005, is 58 metres high. From the top you have a stunning view of Dunkirk, the harbour and the French Westhoek (lift, then a staircase of 64 steps).
