The belfry was added in 1460 and was fitted with a sundial and a carillon with 52 bells in 1600. You hear a tune every 15 minutes. It was not until 1544 that the Area House was built, the building at the front. The area house served to proclaim the new laws and regulations or to make them known to the public. There have been many renovations after demolitions and fires, the last one dating from 1879. Except for the Belfry, the buildings are not open to visitors.
