About Tour des Ursulines

Towers, Architecture, Interesting Places, Other Towers

La Tour des Ursulines, anciennement Tour des Prisonniers ou encore Tour François I^er, est un donjon érigé au XII^e siècle à Autun, dans le département français de Saône-et-Loire (en Bourgogne-Franche-Comté). Il avait pour fonction de protéger l'ancien château Riveau ou Rivault. C'est le principal vestige de ce château démantelé vers 1600, dont le nom dérive du latin rivus. Ce nom a également été porté par les anciens seigneurs, et s'est ensuite gardé dans l'appellation du Quartier Rivault.

La tour est classée monument historique depuis septembre 1994. Elle est propriété d'un artiste et sert de centre culturel à financement privé.
