# Donjon de Niort

Two massive towers standing by the Sèvre Niortaise river are what remains of the castle built for Henry II Plantagenet at the end of the 12th century. The south tower rises to 28 metres, the north tower to 23 metres, having been rebuilt after it partly collapsed in the 18th century. From the terrace, the view opens onto the old town and the river.
