Leughenaer Tower

Highlight • Monument

The Tower of the Leughenaer is a 15th-century fortress tower in the French city of Dunkirk. It is the oldest monument in the city. The tower is octagonal and 30 meters high. It was built by Jacques Desfontaines and was used as a beacon for shipping. Much of the technical 19th century equipment in the tower has been preserved. The tower contained a means of communication, namely a semaphore or a chappe as the French call it. From 1825 to 1963 the tower served as a lighthouse. It was alleged that false signals were deliberately given from the tower to beach ships and plunder them. That explains the name of the tower. It is more likely that ships crashed due to the difficult to navigate, winding access channel. The tower is protected and classified as a monument historique on 10-01-1995.

Dunkirk Station

Highlight • Other

The Gare de Dunkerque has a rich history dating back to the 19th century. The station opened in 1848, playing a major role in the development of the port of Dunkirk and the surrounding city. The original building was rebuilt in 1875 and reopened in 1876. The station was badly damaged during the Second World War and was later rebuilt in the 1960s, with the current building being completed in 1964. The design of the new station was carried out by architect Jean Niermans and is characterised by its modern concrete structure and glass façade.
