Origin and history

The Saint-Guillaume Tower of Saint-Amour is a building built during the first quarter of the 16th century. It is located in the commune of Saint-Amour, in the Jura department (39), in the region of Bourgogne-Franche-Comté. This monument has been included in the inventory of Historic Monuments since May 12, 1936, reflecting its heritage and architectural importance to the region.

The location of the tower is specified as being at the 9 Passage de la Tour Guillaume, in Saint-Amour. Although the practical information about his visit or current use (rent, guest rooms) is not detailed in the available sources, his inscription under the title of Historic Monuments underlines his role in the local heritage. The accuracy of its geographic location is assessed as "satisfactory a priori" (note 6/10), allowing it to be located with relative accuracy.

Available sources, including Monumentum and Merimée data, indicate that the Saint-Guillaume Tower is protected as an architectural ensemble. No additional information concerning its history, sponsors or specific historical uses is mentioned in the documents consulted. His name probably evokes a dedication to Saint William, but no details about this association are provided.
