The hall of Calais symbolizes the union of the cities of Calais and Saint-Pierre. Financial troubles and World War I postponed construction, but in 1925 the hall, which was executed in neo-Flemish style, was ready. The most striking element of the hall is the belfry, which was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2005. Very beautiful hall with an amazing clock tower. Really nice picture potential specially with the "Calais" letters. Great for some nice souvenir pictures of the place. Definitely worth checking out and only a few minutes away from the train station. Very nice building and it's open for the visits (not like the one in Dunkirk) : the first floor and the tower (can get a guided tour) Nice place,not as clean as expected. Not very safe as many weird people were walking in the park. Washing clothes by the lake and sleep on the benches. Baroque Style of Building with a park and museum nearby. Interesting architecture and story of the Les Bourgeois de Calais where the English invaded and Calais became a part of England in 1347. Six dignitaries were put up for execution to spare the entire from mass slaughter by King Edward 111. A Rodin statue exist outside depicting the six men with ropes around their necks. You can go into the belfry but unfortunately when I visited it wasn’t open. Stunning gardens and building. Clock tower is similar in size to London’s Big Ben. I didn’t have time to visit the inside of the hall however the gardens are impressive enough. Warm welcome from the team, amazing views of the city. You get a nice guided tour for some history and some interesting facts about the areas. Would recommend! Amazing building with an impressive clock tower. You can go up to the first floor for free and view the rooms and for a small charge (€5 per adult and €2 per child) you can even go up the bell tower. A great building to look round Website change monitoring Monitor any webpage for changes – get instant email alerts when prices drop, new jobs are posted, products come back in stock, or competitors update their sites.
