Like a rocket, it is a cylindrical structure made of local limestone belongs to the 1170-1180 biennium. No document can not confirm with any event for which the tower was created, but its origin is associated with the name Bernard de Clairvaux - St. Bernard (Saint Bernard), who came to these places in 1149 to preach against the Cathars, hence the second name - "tour Saint-Bernard".
