The Lantern Tower (15th century) is, along with the Saint-Nicolas Tower and the Chain Tower, one of the three towers on the seafront of La Rochelle, remnants of the medieval fortifications that protected the port. It is also known as the Garrot Tower, the Priests Tower, and the Four Sergeants Tower. It was listed as a historic monument on February 17, 1879.
