En un regard
Le château en bref
The Tour des Pêcheurs is a remnant of Haguenau's former urban fortifications: a tower associated with an arch spanning the river, where the watercourse crossed the town wall. The Mérimée record describes it as a fortified building comprising the tower and the arch over the river, owned by the municipality. It was listed as a historic monument by order of 28 February 1923, one of the earliest listings of the town's fortifications. Its role was to control the passage of water through Haguenau's medieval defensive circuit; the date of 1230 previously given in the record remains to be confirmed by a specialist source.
