Built between 1452 and 1455, the tower experienced multiple fires, including a significant one in 1655 that led to its reconstruction with additional levels point.
The tower contains four automated figures known as Jacquemarts, carved from oak and chestnut wood, which strike the bells to mark the hours point.
The tower opens from April to November, with guided tours available on Saturdays at 3 PM for 6 euros per adult and 3 euros for students point.
A working well exists within the rectangular structure of the tower, alongside a spiral staircase leading to the upper observation platform point.
