Cathédrale Notre-Dame of Strasbourg
The Strasbourg astronomical clock is located in the Cathédrale Notre-Dame of Strasbourg, Alsace, France. It is the third clock on that spot and dates from the time of the first French possession of the city (1681–1870). The first clock had been built in the 14th century, the second in the 16th century, when Strasbourg was a Free imperial city of the Holy Roman Empire.
The current, third clock dates from 1843. Its main features, besides the automata, are a perpetual calendar (including a computus), an orrery (planetary dial), a display of the real position of the Sun and the Moon, and solar and lunar eclipses. The main attraction is the procession of the 18 inch high figures of Christ and the Apostles, which occurs every day at solar noon, while the life-size cock crows three times.
Clock is located at the Hiroshima Peace Museum. The first number indicates how many days since the world's first atomic weapon was dropped and the second number indicates how many days since the last nuclear test.

The stable block was another Burges building, built in 1871 in the typical medieval style. The building has an asymmetric facade, red-painted dormer windows and dominant clocktower. It used to have a carriage house. By the time they had cars, it was used to store them in the early 20th century. During WW2 it was converted into accommodation for American airmen. After the war it was converted into two flats with stores and garden machinery. It was restored in 1988 and converted to provide the cafe, shop, lavatories and reception area for visitors.

...and every hour it plays a different tune. I it also lights up and the waterfall becomes animated, there's a button you can press to make the sound of a rushing stream but the only button I want to find is the one that turns off the bloody music. A gift from our landlord which he installed for us right in the middle of our longest living room wall.
