One of the three towers that you can see from the Grote Markt is the 18th-century town hall. It is built around the medieval hall and hall tower or belfry. The Belfry Tower houses a restored carillon with 50 bells and is protected as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The symbol of urban freedom, a wrought-iron double-headed eagle, is the work of Pierre Radoux and it adorns the 14th-century platform. The renovated town hall, the eye-catcher in the middle of the market, is definitely worth a visit.
The Sint-Truiden Tourist Office is located in the historic town hall and there is also a regional products shop.

The lower part of the belfry dates from the 13th century, the rest from 1608. The halls from 1366 now form part of the ground floor of the town hall, the facades of which were renovated in 1754-55 by the Liège architect Étienne Fayen.

The 18th-century rooms on the first floor are richly decorated with stucco. The reliefs in the vestibule of 1788 are signed by André Vivroux from Liège. The allegories on the mantelpiece of the council chamber-marriage hall are oil paintings by the Maastricht-Liège painter Jean-Baptiste Coclers. The cornice depicts the weapons of the eleven crafts of Sint-Truiden.

In 2005, the belfry of Sint-Truiden was placed on the UNESCO World Heritage List as part of the group registration of 56 belfries in Belgium and France.

Old Town Hall Sint-Truiden on the market with the tourist office on the side of the building. Many eat-drink places on the market. On Saturday there is the Saturday market. On the other side of the town hall, you have the green market, where there are water fountains that make nice jets.
