Belfry of Sint-Truiden

Highlight • Monument

The origins of the Sint-Truiden bell tower date back to 1366, when the influential cloth guild had a hall with a wooden bell tower built. The current stone tower dates from 1606. In that year, the superstructure of the tower with the carillon was torn down by a storm. The belfry was rebuilt in the same year. All the building material came from the surrounding area: marl stone from Zichem and the 51,200 bricks were purchased in Sint-Truiden itself.
In 1754-1755, today's town hall was built on the site of the old hall. In 1934, the facades of this town hall were drastically modified. The paving was removed to reveal the brick and marlstone moldings were installed. These adjustments were intended to give the whole thing a Renaissance look. Inside there are still rooms with stucco and imitation marble decorated with pilasters, friezes and medallions. The bell tower of Sint-Truiden has a carillon with 41 bells from 1754. The complex has been protected as a monument since 1939 and a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2005.
