The Donjon de Septmonts is a medieval tower in the French village of Septmonts, located near Soissons, in the Hauts-de-France region. The tower was built in the 14th century and was originally part of a castle that served as a residence for the bishops of Soissons. The tower is 47 meters high and has seven floors. It is a striking example of the princely style of the late 14th century, combining both military and residential functions. The tower is currently undergoing a restoration programme.
