Niedriger Turm, Defense tower in Le Mont-Saint-Michel, France
The Niedriger Turm features thick stone walls and narrow windows positioned strategically along the fortified ramparts of Mont Saint-Michel.
The tower remained an essential part of Mont Saint-Michel's defense system during the Hundred Years' War, contributing to the fortress's undefeated status.
The tower represents medieval military engineering techniques, demonstrating the architectural knowledge of 14th-century fortification builders in northern France.
Visitors can access the tower through the rampart walkway, which provides views of the surrounding bay and the changing patterns of tides.
The position of Niedriger Turm allows observers to monitor both the tidal movements and potential approaches from the mainland toward Mont Saint-Michel.
