Description

Klokketårnet i Menen har en bevæget historie, som du stadig kan aflæse tydeligt på bygningen. Siden 1999 er det anerkendt som verdensarv af UNESCO.
Den første sten til klokketårnet blev lagt i 1574, men på grund af religionskrigene måtte byen stoppe byggeriet to år senere. Først i 1610 går stenhuggere i gang igen. På soklen, der er opført i natursten, kommer der en overbygning i mursten, og ovenpå en træspids med et kuppelformet tag og en lanterne. To gange, i 1706 og 1794, bliver spidsen skudt af franske tropper. Ved restaureringsarbejderne tilføjes der hver gang en etage, derfor tæller bygningen nu fire etager.
