Summary
| Description |
English: The Solidor tower in the estuary of the river Rance in Brittany (France). It was built between 1369 and 1382 by John V, Duke of Brittany (i.e. Jean IV in French) to control access to the Rance at a time when the city of Saint-Malo did not recognize his authority. Over the centuries the tower lost its military interest and became a jail. It is now a museum celebrating Breton sailors exploring Cape Horn. The Solidor tower is located in the former city of Saint-Servan, which merged with Saint-Malo in 1967.
Français : La tour Solidor dans l'estuaire de la Rance près de Saint Malo (Bretagne, France). Ce donjon fut construit entre 1369 et 1382, par le duc Jean IV de Bretagne afin d'avoir un contrôle sur la Rance à une époque où la ville de Saint-Malo était rebelle à son autorité. L'histoire et l'évolution des technologies militaires ayant rendu son usage initial caduc, la tour est transformée en prison pendant la Révolution et l'Empire. Elle héberge depuis 1970 un musée des cap-horniers qui réunit les collections du musée de Saint-Malo sur la navigation au long cours et les cap-horniers (cartes,maquettes,instruments de navigation...). La tour Solidor est située à Saint-Servan, ancienne commune devenue un quartier de la ville de Saint-Malo après une fusion intervenue en 1967. |
