Place des Halles

The tower that stands at the end of Place des Halles is not, despite appearances, a church tower. The Clock Tower was built in the 13th century but soon lost its defensive function. Partly demolished in the 16th century, its materials contributed to the construction of the new church tower. It became private property, was transformed into a dwelling in the 19th century, and now belongs to the municipality of Lutry.
