Tour Saint-Antoine, Bell tower and television tower in Loches, France.
The Saint-Antoine Tower reaches a height of 52 meters and features an octagonal top floor crowned with a dome containing four dormers.
Construction of the tower began in 1529 and continued through the third quarter of the 16th century as part of a now-vanished chapel.
The upper levels display stone balustrades and heraldic figures, including the coat of arms of Honorat II of Savoy, marking local nobility.
The tower opens exclusively during European Heritage Days weekends, requiring advance registration at the tourist office starting from August.
The tower stands as the last remaining belfry in the Touraine province and received historical monument status in the initial 1840 listing.
