The Cornelius Tower, also known as the Zimmer Tower, was originally a keep of Lier's fourteenth century city fortifications. In 1930, astronomer and clockmaker, Louis Zimmer, built the Jubilee (or Centenary) Clock, to commemorate 100 years of the independence of Belgium. Consisting of 12 clocks encircling one central clock, with a total of 57 dials, the Jubilee Clock shows time on all continents, phases of the moons, times of tides, and many other periodic phenomena.
