Description

The Belfry of Diksmuide, located in the city of Diksmuide (West-Vlaanderen), is part of the town hall complex. The original town hall's foundation stone was laid in 1428, with significant renovations occurring between 1567 and 1572. Between 1875 and 1880, a third town hall was constructed in neo-gothic style, designed by Bruges architect Louis Delacenserie. Following World War I, during the 1923 reconstruction, architects opted for elements inspired by regional Flemish Renaissance architecture. The new belfry tower was erected in the courtyard.
