Crest Tower

Highlight • Castle

The Grand’Rue de Crest, the main artery of the city, is punctuated by the characteristic facades of buildings and mansions built between the Renaissance and the 19th century. Note: the figures of the Seven Deadly Sins on the listed facade of the Maison de la Tour du Pin. The majestic Tour de Crest, the highest keep in France, overlooks the city from a height of 52 meters. A former fortress then a state prison, the Tower bears unique witness to medieval times and prison life.
