Tour Jules

The panoramic tower of the Climont, or Jules Tower, was erected in 1897 by the Strasbourg section of the Club Vosgien. Mr Gérardin, owner of the summit of the Climont, gave the land necessary for its erection

It is in a square, neo-Medieval style, with a corbel at the top and an oriel on the south side. This 17-metre high tower, inaugurated in October 1897 by the authorities of the Deutsches Reich, has 78 steps and a commemorative plaque in honour of Julius Euting, famous orientalist and founding president of the Club Vosgien, is affixed at its entrance. Its construction cost 4,000 marks at the time.
