About Tour de la Chaîne

Towers, Architecture, Interesting Places, Other Towers

La tour de la Chaîne est, avec la tour Saint-Nicolas et la tour de la Lanterne, l'une des trois tours du front de mer de La Rochelle, et l'une des deux tours emblématiques du Vieux-Port, dont elle constitue la majestueuse porte d'entrée. C'est de cette tour qu'était manœuvrée la chaîne, fixée dans la tour Saint-Nicolas sur l'autre rive, de manière à interdire l'accès au port. Elle a été classée monument historique le 17 février 1879.
