TOUR DE LA SERGENTERIE

Towers to visit

Built in the 16th century, this tower is a superb vestige of Poligny's ramparts. At its summit, the lookout could see the attackers approaching and would immediately prepare boiling oil, which he poured through the stone machicolations. Remodeled in the 15th century, it has 4 storeys, with the covered walkway on the second floor. Finally, you should know that its name comes not from the military forces that once inhabited it, but from Sergentin, the former name of the Doye river that flows at its foot. Although not open to visitors, its architecture can be seen at the entrance gate.
