Circular watchtower perched at a strategic height of 20 m and heeled in ashlar formed in the Middle Ages.
Perched at a strategic height on a promontory between Chambourcy and Orgeval, this watchtower was an essential link in the Seine valley defence system in the Middle Ages. Built in the 14th century, this 20 m circular tower with ashlar heels (now in ruins) may have been placed on the edge of a small enclosure. A stained-glass window in the Collégiale Notre-Dame illustrates and recounts an episode in the Hundred Years' War, during which the Béthemont tower was taken from the English by Joan of Arc's troops in September 1429.
