Belfort van Brugge
Belfort van Brugge - Belfry of Bruges. Built in the Market Square ca. 1240 and rebuilt in 1280. The octagonal upper stage of the belfry was added between 1483 and 1487.
"The S. side of the square is occupied by the Halles, a large building erected in the 13th and 14th cent., and altered in 1561-55 from designs by Peter Diericx. The building forms a rectangle, 143 ft. broad and 276 ft. deep. The Belfry (Tour des Halles or Halletoren) , 353 ft. in height, rebuilt after a conflagration in 1280, rises in the centre of the façade and leans slightly towards the S.E."--Baedeker 1910
