Classified as a Historical Monument, the Plô Tower is the only civil vestige of the feudal world. About 24 metres high, located a few metres from the collegiate church, this monumental building is emblematic of the historic and architectural landscape of the city of Saint-Yrieix.
The interior parts of the Plô Tower, divided into different levels, host a museum space dedicated to history and evolution, through the eras of this remarkable building. To finish the visit a panoramic terrace offers a unique view of the city.
