This 11th century tower was the bell tower of the Notre-Dame church. In the 15th century, a very large spire at almost 80 meters adorned the bell tower. This part was destroyed by the French revolutionaries in 1794
Part of the Notre-Dame church was damaged during the destruction of its bell tower. The destruction is still visible on the east face. They are now separated by a street. Its condition does not allow it to be opened to the public, however it occasionally hosts exhibitions visible from the windows located at the bottom.
Free of charge.
