The Vauban Tower was designed to guard the entrance to the Brest Strait and prevent landings in the Bay of Camaret. Still unfinished, it was put to its baptism of fire on June 18, 1694. Vauban repelled the attack of 147 Anglo-Dutch ships attempting to land. The Vauban Tower is part of Vauban's fortifications, which have been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2008.
