Intimately involved with the powerful dukes of Burgundy and the direct entourage of the kings of France, Jean I (+1443) and Jean II (+1475) de La Clyte made their city of Comines shine well beyond its territory.
Conference proposed by the Association Amis de Comines, in partnership with the Municipality
Active knights, administrators and lords of exception, they also knew how to surround themselves with wives from prestigious families, like Jeanne de Ghistelles (+1431), Jeanne de Preures (+1449) and Jeanne d'Estouteville (+1476).
Within their court, art, culture, faith, diplomacy and military glories have left impressive traces, even almost unique, preserved in Comines even in their funerary monuments. Their moral and political heritage also participates in the same spirit.

Hauts-de-France

After the First World War, the town called on the architect Louis-Marie Cordonnier for the reconstruction of the belfry and the city hall. This one was inaugurated in 1929, and the belfry in 1932\. The belfry, whose original dated from 1623, was rebuilt identically, adjoining a neo-Flemish brick town hall. A gallery connects the two buildings. The belfry is a quadrangular brick tower highlighted with stone, with a bulbous slate roof supported by a concrete framework. The interior of the town hall section is decorated in a Troubadour style, particularly in the stained-glass windows.
