Tour Haldimand, Neo-Gothic tower in Lausanne, Switzerland
The Haldimand Tower rises near Lake Geneva, featuring distinctive walls made of molasse blocks placed upon a tufa foundation at its base.
Constructed around 1830 near the Vuachère river mouth, the tower underwent relocation to its present position in 1901 during the Ouchy quay construction.
The Historical Museum of Lausanne preserves an intaglio print of the tower created by William-Henri Bartlett in 1834, documenting its architectural significance.
The tower stands within Denantou Park, accessible through multiple walking paths and offering observation points over Lake Geneva and the surrounding landscape.
The structure received extensive restoration between 1999 and 2001, which included updating its features and adding a concrete crown to its top.
