First built in the Middle Ages, the belfry of Armentières was destroyed by order of Louis XI, before being rebuilt in 1510. It was later integrated into the Town Hall in 1724, after important works undertaken by the aldermen. The belfry was then an outward symbol of power and prosperity. Once again destroyed in 1918 during the First World War, the belfry of Armentières was completely rebuilt by the architect Louis Marie Cordonnier. The new building was inaugurated in 1934, after nine years of work.
