    The belfry was completed in two phases as a slender Gothic tower. A first phase started in 1369 and resulted in a modest square tower with a wooden cover, covered with slates. The second phase in 1411 involved the partial demolition of the existing tower and its further expansion into its present form.
    In 1914 the city was heavily bombed, destroying three-quarters of the buildings around the market. The belfry and town hall were miraculously spared. Since 1971, the belfry tower has had a small automatic carillon with 25 bells, which play a tune every fifteen minutes.
