Rivalland Tower Castles / Towers / Forts in Fontenay-le-Comte
The Rivalland Tower is an astonishing construction from the end of the 19th century. This immense tower of 8 levels is a challenge launched by a former naval officer, with the aim of exceeding the height of the Notre-Dame church. At its top is a Faraday cage, which blocks electromagnetic fields. ©CC BY-SA 3.0 - Wikipedia Read more
