La Tour d'Ayen

"Ayen" comes from an ancient word meaning "height, hill". In fact, the house known as the Tower of Ayen, is a notable dwelling typical of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries located on the highest point of the ancient city. The stair tower has been registered in the inventory of Historic Monuments since 1929. It has Renaissance windows and a door decorated with a hammered coat of arms. Like the roof of the bell tower of the collegiate church, the roof of the tower is covered with chestnut shingles.
