Tower of the former city fortification - not to be confused with the fortress below the city.

Tour Montfromery was originally designed as part of the city walls and served to defend the eastern city limits. Its name dates back to the Constable of Fougères, Beaucé de Montframmery, who was active in 1473. The tower was also known as Tour Saint-Jacques and was connected to a nearby gate called the Four d'Enfer. It was part of the defensive works that protected the city during the Middle Ages.
