La tour des Archives est située dans le département français de l'Eure sur la commune de Vernon.The primitive construction of a square tower dates back to 1123, built by Henry Beauclerc, youngest son of William the Conqueror. Thereafter, it was replaced by a round tower under Philip Augustus. It is typical of military buildings built by the king of France. It is 22 m high.It is architecturally close to the Joan of Arc Tower in Rouen built soon after.In Vernon, the Royal Engineers adapted themselves an existing enclosure oval track, they "retendent" by rectilinear curtains and flankings towers with the inevitable turn independent mistress.
