Tower that is distinguished by its dome, a building of the century located in Loches.
A 16th century building, it is distinguished by its dome surmounted by a lantern (small slender lantern). Discover also the chancellery (16th century), and its antique-style colonnades, as well as the old doors, and beautiful Renaissance houses. Two paintings discovered in the church of Saint-Antoine de Loches have been studied and restored. They are two of the four paintings bought from Caravaggio by Cardinal Philippe de Béthune in the 17th century. Classified as historical monuments in 2002, they are now on display in the Chancellery.

Ancien clocher d'une église ou chapelle (selon les sources) elle est propriété de la commune depuis la Révolution. Au pied de la tour, une signalétique présente son histoire, mais il est dommage que aucune visite soit proposée en dehors des journées du patrimoine.
Le quartier est agréable, j'ai profité du marché, de l'office de tourisme et de la statue d'Alfred de Vigny.
