 VIROT TOWER Listed building - Circa 1470. 52000 LANGRES GPS : 47.862319,5.336284   Tel. : 03 25 87 67 67 Fax : 03 25 87 73 33 Mail : info@tourisme-langres.com This tower is at the junction of the city walls and those of the Sous-Murs suburb. Built – or largely revised – during the 1470’s, it protected the Henri the Fourth gate, which controlled communication between the city and the nearby suburb. It is contemporaneous with the St Ferjoux Tower, but does not appear to have benefitted from the same influences on its construction as did the latter. Its weapon slits are clumsily made giving a very limited range of cover. Originally a roof made of flat stones called laves protected its terrace. Telephone mobile 03 25 87 67 67 Dates and Times of opening Free access all the year. Prices No admission charge. |
