The medieval town boasts a keep, as evidenced by its architecture, a 23-m tufa stone tower.
23 meters high and 16 meters wide, these are the measurements of this massive tufa stone tower. Built in the 12th century, the watchtower's parapet walk and machicolations can still be admired, helping to forestall many an attack. On the1st floor, in the "echo room", an immersive video mapping is projected onto the vaulted ceiling. Immerse yourself in the bowels of the Earth, right down to the water of La Roche-Posay! Admire the magnificent panorama from the terrace. At the entrance, a timescope lets you immerse yourself in life in the Middle Ages.

À l’intérieur, un escalier, volontairement très étroit pour retarder la progression de l’ennemi, est aménagé dans l’épaisseur dans murs. Au premier étage se trouve la salle des échos qui tire son nom de l’excellente acoustique de la salle. C’est là que se confessent les lépreux, dos à dos aux coins opposés de la salle et à voix basse pour éviter de se contaminer par leur salive. Depuis le second niveau, un second escalier également construit dans le mur permet d’accéder aux étages supérieurs et à la terrasse dominant un vaste paysage.
