The Beffroi d'Arras is a structural work of the commune of Arras , in the French department of Pas-de-Calais. Like the town hall to which it is attached, it is classified as a historical monument .
Started during the 15th century, the work was completed in 1554 on Jacques Caron plans. Built in the Flamboyant Gothic style, the belfry was destroyed and then rebuilt twice in the same way. The first time in 1833, as it was about to collapse and the second time, in 1918, following the German bombings of the First World War. The golden lion which dominates the belfry, installed under Louis XIV (hence the sun in the lion's hand), two meters high, is the replica of the original (exhibited at the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Arras ) which was bombarded during the First World War
In the Middle Ages, the belfry had military functions: the bell rang the opening and closing of the city gates and the building served as a prison. Nowadays, it is part of the heritage of Arras . It has been classified as historical monuments since 1840 and, since 2005, has been part of the Unesco world heritage, being included in the belfries of Belgium and France.
From the top of its 75 meters the belfry dominates the Arras landscape, visible from several kilometers around: it is still today the tallest building in the city.
The belfry has been recreated manually from various photos ans videos fromm the internet. It comes with its own lights and POI.

Alors ça, quelle belle surprise! Ma ville d'enfance Arras, que j'ai survolé plusieurs fois des années plus tard pour mon tout premier job de pilote qui était de convoyer les Grob, les PA28, les TB10/20 à la révision depuis LFPL (lognes) pour LFQT Merville là où les oiseaux passaient par la case! Merci, good job!
