Tour de Champel, Gothic Revival tower in Champel, Switzerland.
The Tour de Champel rises 17 meters high in the residential district of Champel, featuring distinctive architectural elements from the Gothic Revival period.
Charles Elles designed and constructed the tower in 1877 using materials from a demolished medieval house previously located on Rue de Rhone.
The tower represents the architectural preferences of wealthy Geneva residents in the 19th century, when David Moriaud commissioned it near his hydrotherapeutic baths.
While the tower interior remains closed to visitors, the surrounding park provides benches and green spaces for relaxation near the Rhone River.
The tower incorporates authentic medieval building materials from Geneva into its construction, creating a direct link between different periods of the city.
