A stand alone bell tower. Worth a walk past if you are visiting the cathedral. The tower is on the path around the cathedral.

We saw this intriguing dark brick tower in the garden next to the Notre Dame de la Treille church while walking around it to have a closer look at the south portal. We had no idea what it could be and found no indication whatsoever. Although there is no similarity in style, it turns out it is the church’s freestanding bell tower (campanile). When church bells were donated to Notre Dame in 1874, the two towers foreseen in to the original plans weren’t built yet so a temporary 35 metres high campanile was erected in record time on shallow foundations. It is still standing today because the plans of the church were altered and eventually no towers were built. The campanile houses a carillon and bells on three floors. It can only be visited on special occasions but it is worth a peek.

Further on in the garden there are some picturesque old houses.
