Mahuet Tower

En un regard

Le château en bref

The Mahuet Tower, in Labry (Meurthe-et-Moselle), is a fortified building owned by the commune. It is said to have been erected as early as the 13th century for the knights of Labry, then extensively remodelled, or even rebuilt, in the 15th or 16th centuries. In the second half of the 17th century, it took on a more residential use: a spiral staircase was installed, the defensive crowning was removed and new windows were pierced. It illustrates the type of tower built by minor lords and the evolution of these military structures towards a residential function. The tower has been listed as a Monument historique in its entirety by order of 4 July 2006.
