The Haldimand tower is a watchtower dating from 1791. It was built by the Swiss general Guillaume-Henri Dufour to monitor the movements of French troops during the Revolution. The tower is named after the British governor of Quebec, Sir Frederick Haldimand, who donated funds for its construction. Today, the Haldimand tower is a privileged place for walks and picnics, offering a panoramic view of the city of Lausanne and Lake Geneva. It is also used for cultural events and temporary exhibitions.

It's good that there is a tree next to the tower for size comparison ...
