The clock tower is part of the town hall behind, which was an Ursuline convent until the French Revolution.
The square clock tower was actually built between 1794 and 1798 to house a clock that the city had acquired as state property in 1791.
Up there three jacquemarts (aka "quarter-jacks") strike the bells

Notre-Dame is the present parish church of Aigueperse
The first construction work dates back to 1016. However, it only acquired its final form at the end of the 12th century, when the chancel and transept were built in their present form. It is considered the first Gothic building in the Auvergne. In 1253, it was elevated to the status of a collegiate church.
The church was completely restored in 1865. The nave and facade were rebuilt in 1880, replacing a nave that had been reconstructed in 1734 after its collapse in 1727. A new bell tower north of the transept replaced the one destroyed during the French Revolution.
Numerous murals adorn the interior
