Tour Nichot de Fougères, Medieval fortified tower in Fougères, France.
The round tower features three granite string courses, arrow slits with cannon bases, and machicolations supported by three-tiered corbels at its summit.
Built during the first half of the 13th century under Raoul III's reign between 1212 and 1256, the tower strengthened the southern defense of Fougères.
The structure received official protection status as a French historical monument through a decree issued on September 10, 1913.
Located at 67 Rue de la Pinterie, the tower stands in a small garden created after the demolition of medieval buildings during the 1944 bombings.
The tower's battlements, shooting holes, and corner turret were added in modern times, modifying its original medieval appearance.
