LA TOUR DU PLÔ
Go there and contact
An impressive quadrangular keep, witness to a feudal era in Saint-Yrieix-la-Perche.
Built at the end of the 13th century by the Viscount of Limoges, the Tour du Plô is the oldest civil monument in Saint-Yrieix; in Occitan, plô means "small plateau" or "height". Built of schist and standing 24 meters high, the keep was used as a prison on the first floor, a seigneurial residence on the second floor and a lookout post on the third floor, from which its banner flew. Restored between 2019 and 2021, the tower can now be visited on three scenographic levels. Its panoramic terrace offers a superb view of the town and its surroundings.
