Nicolle Tower


Nicolle Tower is a tower in the parish of Saint [Clement, Jersey|St Clement] in Jersey. It was built in 1821 for Philippe Nicolle as a hexagonal folly house on the site of an earlier navigation tower on Mont Ubé. It is adjacent to the Mont Ubé dolmen.
During the occupation of [the Channel Islands] the German forces made some modifications to this tower, extending its height with a new top floor, including narrow windows, so that they could use the tower as an observation post. There are other structures near-by, including gun emplacements, and bunkers which were constructed during the occupation.
