Door with a bell ringing the hours and a châtelet in Parthenay, one of the four possible entrances to the fortified city

Like the Saint James Gate, this door - known as the Clock - was one of the four possible entries in the fortified city. All built on the same model, the door of the citadel does not derogate from the rule: The passage is overlooked by a vaulted ceiling framed with two almond towers, with a harrow and assommoir. On the first floor, a large square and vaulted room is equipped with three openings and opens onto the wall of the wall. In 1454, the door has a bell bell, and the th-century châtelet is built to protect the bell because the old frame is in too bad a condition.

Deux faces, deux ambiances
Cette porte donne accès à la seconde enceinte de Partenay, celle de la citadelle qui enveloppe le promontoire où s’élève le château (la première enceinte entoure toute la cité médiévale). La porte est plate et peu décorée côté cité puis on passe sous le passage voûté pour découvrir le côté citadelle où la porte est entourée de tours en amande et porte la grosse horloge qui lui donne son nom. Levez les yeux en passant sous le passage pour observer les structures qui abritaient les deux herses et l’assommoir.
Nous avons préféré le coup d’œil côté citadelle.
