Cylindrical tower, nearly 30 m high, flanked by four turrets. Remains of a fortress. Free admission.
The remains of Houdan's famous keep lie to the west of the town, on a plateau overlooking the Opton valley. The cylindrical tower, 30 m high and 15 m in diameter, is all that remains of the fortress erected in the early 12th century by Amaury III de Montfort. The edifice was used as a prison, before belonging to several private owners and finally being bequeathed to the town in 1903. Classified as a historic monument in 1889, it is flanked by four small semicircular turrets located at the four cardinal points.
