| Description |
Chinon (Indre-et-Loire) La forteresse royale de Chinon. La Tour de l'Horloge.
La Tour de l'Horloge sert d’entrée au château du Milieu depuis le XIIe siècle. A l'origine, il s'agit d'une porte percée dans une construction massive longue et étroite. La Tour de l'Horloge doit son nom à l'horloge très ancienne qu'elle abrite dans le clocheton. Au début du 13e siècle, sous Philippe Auguste, la tour est rehaussée et dotée d’une herse et d’un pont-levis. La Tour de l'Horloge a été fortement surélevée au XIVe*. La Tour est entourée par une couronne de mâchicoulis ornés de motifs trilobés. Les rails d'une herse sont encore visibles dans les parties basses. Une petite bretèche accrochée à la façade intérieure servait de latrines. La toiture abrite une cloche datant de 1349 (ou 1359 ou 1399) appelée Marie Javelle*.
« Marie-Javelle Je m’appelle. Celui qui m’a mis M’a bien mis Celui qui m’ostera S’en repentira »
The tower of Coudray. The royal fortress is divided into three castles: Castle Middle, Fort du Coudray and Fort St. George (now destroyed). The Clock Tower serves as the entrance to the castle of Middle since the twelfth century. Originally, it is a door in a long and narrow massive construction. The Clock Tower gets its name from the ancient clock housed in the bell turret. In the early 13th century under Philip Augustus, the tower is equipped with a portcullis and a drawbridge. The Clock Tower was greatly elevated in the nineteenth. The Tower is surrounded by a crown of machicolations decorated with trilobed motifs. The tracks of a portcullis are still visible in the lower parts. A small gatehouse hanging on the interior façade served as latrines. The roof contains a bell dating from 1349 (or 1359 or 1399) called Mary Javel |
