Tour de l’horloge de Saint-Martin-de-Brômes, Medieval fortified tower in Saint-Martin-de-Brômes, France.

The Tour de l'horloge de Saint-Martin-de-Brômes is a 24.5-metre watchtower built in dressed bossage stone on a rocky spur at the northern edge of the village. Its top carries machicolations supporting a parapet pierced with two narrow arrow slits on each face. Putlog holes and facade anchors mark the masonry at regular intervals, and one face bears the clock and two blind bays.

The tower was built in the 13th century by the Castellane family and originally served to store feudal taxes before later being converted into a dovecote. It passed into municipal ownership in 1867.

The tower houses one of France's smallest museums, displaying Roman funerary remains and regional archaeological items that have been open to visitors since 1972. The collection reveals how scholars have uncovered the past of this area within a very confined space.

The tower stands on a rocky spur at the northern edge of the village, 24.5 m high, and is reached on foot through the old lanes. Its base and masonry are best seen from the street below. The small museum inside has been open since 1972; access is limited by the confined space of the tower.

The tower's nickname "tour des Templiers" is misleading: it was built by the Castellane family, lords of Saint-Martin-de-Brômes from 1227 to 1673, and has no link to the Knights Templar. The municipal council bought the tower from a private owner in 1867 to install the communal clock and its campanile.
