Description

The Belfry of Nieuwpoort is a belfry tower in the Belgian city of Nieuwpoort. The 35-meter high tower is built at the Grain Hall or City Hall. It is one of the 56 belfries in Belgium and France that have been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The belfry is designed as a partial extension of the facade of the building. It towers above the rectangular hall of 14th-century origin, which belongs to the cross-border brick Gothic style. During World War I, the tower was dynamited, and the hall, along with the entire city, was almost completely destroyed. In 1921-1923, the belfry and hall were reconstructed according to historical models. The crowning has now been elaborated, making the belfry more resemble the local church towers. The hall has the same appearance as the first one, which was presumably built in 1280 in late Gothic style.
