Sainte-Catherine bell tower

A true landmark of Honfleur, the Sainte-Catherine bell tower stands proudly in the square of the same name. Entirely made of wood, this bell tower, unique in Normandy, was built in the 15th and 16th centuries by shipwrights using inverted hull techniques. Separated from the church to protect the sanctuary from fire caused by lightning, its Norman Gothic architecture and half-timbered facades are truly impressive. Classified as a historic monument, it now houses an exhibition of religious objects. A must-see during your stay in Honfleur to discover the town's authentic heritage.
