Chain Tower

Highlight • Historical Site

Along with the Saint-Nicolas Tower and the Lantern Tower, the Chain Tower is one of three towers on the La Rochelle waterfront, and one of the two iconic towers of the Old Port, to which it forms the majestic gateway. It was from this tower that the chain, fixed to the Saint-Nicolas Tower on the other bank, was operated to prevent access to the port. It was listed as a historic monument on February 17, 1879.
