This old watchtower was integrated into the city's fortifications. Also called the "white tower", it is the last vestige of the enclosure that surrounded Aubusson. It was used to monitor movements in the city. On the facade of the tower, three dials facing the city indicate the time. It is easily recognizable with its pepperpot roof covered in chestnut shingles. It is decorated with a bell decorated with three small bas-reliefs: a mitred bishop.

This bridge is emblematic of Aubusson. Originally made of wood, it was essential for commercial exchanges on the road from Limoges to Clermont-Ferrand. It was rebuilt with stones from the castle (itself dismantled on the orders of Rochelieu). There remains a castle (from the 15th century) on the left bank, which formerly housed the archers in charge of the defense of the building.
