The Astronomical Clock
The Astronomical Clock
The Astronomical clock is a mid-nineteenth-century version of the original fourteenth-century clock.

The key time to see it in action is 12:30. The seven different stories indicate the month and year, the time by the sun, and GMT, while angels turn over hour glasses, a crock crows thrice, and the twelve apostles parade before Christ. Opposite the clock, the Piliers des Anges is a superb piece of Gothic work.

The eight slender columns, peopled with graceful angels blowing trumpets and the evangelists are carved with great realism.

  Practical information 
Parade of the Apostles every day at 12.30.
Entrance at the south doorway from 12 to 12.20
