Eglise Saint-Pierre d’Ault et Beffroi Ecclésiastique

The church of Saint-Pierre, built in a checkerboard pattern of white stones and cut flints typical of the region, is the only one in Picardy to have an ecclesiastical belfry obtained by the extension of a communal charter dating from 1382. Recently discovered, it is the third in France, after those of Dunkirk and Cambrai. It is classified as a Historic Monument. The 14th century bell tower is an imposing quadrangular tower which ends in a platform, with gargoyles at the 4 corners and decorated with 3 bells. A fine watchtower stands at the top. Built with the church, it became an ecclesiastical belfry during the 100 years war by the communal charter of 1382.
