Belfry of Kortrijk

The Belfry of Kortrijk stands as a proud symbol of the city's medieval past and civic independence. This UNESCO World Heritage-listed tower, part of the Belfries of Belgium and France, rises above the Grote Markt and offers visitors a chance to climb to the top for sweeping views of Kortrijk's historic center. Inside, you'll find a small exhibition on the tower's history and the carillon, which still chimes regularly. The climb is steep but rewarding, with each level revealing more about the belfry's role as a watchtower and treasury. The surrounding square is lively with cafes and markets, making it a perfect starting point for exploring the city.
