Origin and history

The Tour de la Sergenterie de Poligny is a historical monument located in the city of Poligny, in the department of Jura (39), in the region Bourgogne-Franche-Comté. Built mainly in the 15th and 19th centuries, it embodies a defensive and administrative architecture typical of these eras. The building has been listed as a Historic Monument since 18 November 1985, reflecting its heritage importance and preservation by local authorities.

The tower is located at 7 rue de la Tour, an address that corresponds to its integration into the urban fabric of Poligny. Although the details of its original use are not explicitly specified, its name suggests a connection to a sergeant's function, probably related to local authority or justice. Today, the tower belongs to the town of Poligny, which makes it possible to envisage its opening to the public or cultural uses, although the information available does not specify its current status (visit, rental, etc.).

Available sources, including Monumentum and Merimée data, indicate that the location of the tower is known with average accuracy (level 5 of 10). This assessment may reflect minor uncertainties about its exact location, although the postal address and GPS coordinates provided (7 rue de la Tour) allow clear identification. The tower is representative of the architectural heritage of the Jura, a region marked by medieval constructions and subsequent renovations, as evidenced by its centuries-long construction periods.
