Take a tour of Riquewihr Clock Tower in Riquewihr, France – part of the World’s Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.
The town of Riquewihr in Alsace France, near the German border, holds many delightful sites, both modern and medieval.
One of these is the town's important central landmark, the Riquewihr Clock Tower.
The traditional medieval facade of the tower is uniquely designed so that it terraces upwards, towards the clock face.
In season, the windows of this brick and timber tower are decorated with planters of colorful flowers from the Alsace area.
The clock tower also serves as the outstanding Upper Gate, and is one of the town’s original fortifications.
Today, Riquewihr's tower is a piece of heritage that still faithfully keeps the time.
