Calais Town Hall is a magnificent Flemish Renaissance style building, inaugurated in 1925, which symbolizes the union of Calais and Saint-Pierre-lès-Calais. Its belfry, 75 meters high, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and offers a panoramic view of the city and surrounding areas. This iconic landmark is famous for its rich ornamentation and architectural details, such as its stained glass windows and sculptures.
This beautiful town hall of brick and stone is located in a beautiful green setting. It was designed in Flemish Renaissance style with Tudor influences, and built on the border of the original town of Calais and the town of Saint-Pierre, to seal the merger of the two municipalities. Although construction began in 1911, the town hall was not completed until 1925 due to damage in WWI. It also suffered damage in WWII. Inside, a stained glass window illuminates the grand staircase and commemorates the retreat of the English.
