This 11th century tower was the bell tower of the Notre-Dame church. In the 15th century, a very large spire at almost 80 meters adorned the bell tower. This part was destroyed by the French revolutionaries in 1794

Its condition does not allow it to be opened to the public, however it occasionally hosts exhibitions visible from the windows located at the bottom.
