Discover the clock, the six belfry bells, the frames and the “guinea pig wheel” of the Gothic church.

The parish guides will first introduce you to the West Tower, whose construction marked the beginning of the construction of the Saint-Thomas church in 1198.
The visit includes the clock mechanism, and the six belfry bells.
Along the route, you can admire the beautiful original oak frames. Then, in the attic, awaits you a very beautiful human-sized “guinea pig wheel” that served as a lifting instrument for the workers of the time.
Finally, the balcony of the East Tower offers a breathtaking view of the medieval district and the Strasbourg Cathedral.
