The Belfry or "Box of salt"

Lourmarin - 84160

By arriving in Lourmarin, the guest perceives a clock inserted into a wall : the belfry is also called "box of salt".

In fact, this place was a castle of clod, base of a first feudal influence known at the year one thousand.
Today, it is a church tower - wall built in the XVIIth century on the vestiges of the feudal castle which shelters a bell (70 cms in diameter), melted in Carpentras by J-L Romain in 1732.

The whole site was classified Ancient Monument in 1942.
