The Belfry of Dendermonde (Oost-Vlaanderen), a 14th-century structure in Belgium, originally served as a corner tower of the cloth halls, with construction starting in 1337 and the belfry added in 1377. In the 15th century, the cloth hall transitioned into the town hall. The stone structure has endured numerous conflicts, though its spire has been repeatedly damaged and replaced. The belfry houses a carillon with a manual keyboard, allowing for regular concerts. Initially, it featured a clock with six bells in 1526, expanded to 15 bells by 1548.
