What the French Ministry of Culture records

Tour édifiée dans la lignée des tours circulaires construites à partir du 13e siècle selon le modèlephilippin issu des progrès apportés par Philippe-Auguste dans l'architecture militaire. Cette construction en présente les principales caractéristiques : fonctions mixtes défensives et résidentielles, épaisseur des murs, escalier pris dans l'épaisseur des murs. Présence d'éléments archaïques tel que le voûtement par coupole. Au 19e siècle, des restaurations dotent la tour d'un couronnement.
