Did you know?

Is the climb up the belfry hard?

366 narrow, steep steps and no lift. There are landings to rest on, and because space at the top is limited, entry is capped at busy times.

Why does the tower lean?

It tilts roughly a metre to the east, having settled on soft ground under the weight of additions made over centuries. Its movement is measured regularly.

How does the bell system work?

The tower holds a 47-bell carillon, played both automatically by a drum mechanism and by hand on a keyboard-like console. The city employs a full-time carillonneur.
