Ganne Tower, Fortified tower in Grez-sur-Loing, France.
The Ganne Tower stands 15.30 meters tall and 12.10 meters wide, with limestone walls measuring 2.30 meters in thickness on each side.
During the 13th and 14th centuries, the tower served as a royal residence, hosting French court members including Blanche of Castille.
