Former toll tower in bricks and blue stone dating from the XNUMXth and XNUMXth centuries.
This cylindrical tower with 3 levels was originally the keep of the seigniorial residence which occupied the south-west corner of the Castrum of Givet Saint-Hilaire. Monument not open internally to the public. A little history… Formerly the tower was simply called the thour of Givet, the big thour of Givet or even the thourfort. The name Victoire only dates from the French period. Presumably renamed in honor of Louis XIV and his armies, winner of the siege of Namur in 1692.
