"In the 13th century, the bishop of Lausanne owned the advanced post of Villarzel which served to defend it from the lords of German Switzerland. The current tower was the gateway of which we can still guess the amounts on both sides from the window (photo opposite).
In 1582, the Bernese used this tower as a prison and as an attic, then, in 1802, the town bought it for the modest sum of 155.- francs, in order to house its poor. "
