The Tour de la Dodenne is a historic defensive wall located in Valenciennes. It was built in the 14th century by Albert de Bavière and is known for guarding the entrance of the Rhonelle into the city. The building is unique because it is the only defensive wall built on a river. The name "Dodenne" comes from the Picard word "dos d'âne", which means "back of a donkey", and refers to the shape of the top of the wall. The building has been a classified historical monument since 1904.
