The middle tower of the three that make up Ghent's skyline, between the cathedral and St Nicholas' Church. It dates from the fourteenth century, guarded the city's privileges and is crowned by a golden dragon. Inside is the carillon mechanism and, at the top, the view over the old town. It is a World Heritage Site along with the other belfries of Flanders and Wallonia.
