The Luçon water tower
Highlight • Other
The water tower with the adjoining electrical factory which made it possible to operate it (factory powered by coal from Faymoreau) made Luçon a city at the cutting edge of modernity with running water and electricity. . However, in 1961 the water tower was decommissioned, and it gradually deteriorated due to lack of maintenance. In 1991, the reinforced concrete monument was threatened with demolition, but by a decree of February 10, 1992 it was automatically classified as a historic monument, in order to allow its preservation. It now stands as a witness to early 20th century architecture consecrated by the appearance of reinforced concrete, and offers a light and astonishing silhouette for a water tower with its late art deco style and ceramic flourishes. . On the main facade, two cast iron lion faces had an orange lamp. This monument was to be supplemented by a lighthouse which was never completed.
