Tour Solidor

Saint-Malo, France, France

Tour Solidor is a striking medieval fortified tower located in the Saint-Servan district of Saint-Malo, Brittany, at the mouth of the Rance River.

Built between 1369 and 1382 by John IV, Duke of Brittany, it was designed to control river traffic, enforce ducal authority, and collect taxes on goods transported through the estuary. The fortress is notable for its unusual design, consisting of three connected round towers built on a rocky outcrop overlooking the water.

Over the centuries, it served various roles, including a military stronghold and later a prison, before losing its strategic importance. Today, Tour Solidor is one of Saint-Malo’s most recognizable landmarks and a protected historic monument. Its dramatic waterfront setting and rich maritime history make it a popular attraction for visitors exploring the heritage of Brittany and the city’s seafaring past.
