TOUR DE LA SERGENTERIE

Built in the 16th century, this tower is a superb vestige of Poligny's ramparts. At the top of the tower, the lookout would see the attackers coming and immediately prepare boiling oil, which he would pour through the stone machicolations. Remodeled in the 15th century, it has 4 storeys, with the covered walkway on the second floor. Finally, you should know that its name comes not from the military forces that once inhabited it, but from Sergentin, the former name of the Doye river that flows at its foot. Although not open to visitors, its architecture can be seen at the entrance gate.
