Located in Quercy Blanc and in the heart of the Cahors vineyard, the small village of Luzech is built on a peninsula, on the Lot. The imposing tower is located at the top of the village, at a height of 24 meters. It is typical of the long Romanesque towers of the region, in particular because it has a very small footprint. It is currently under restoration.

It was a particularly solid defensive position to resist the Saracens and the Vikings of the time. It is believed to have been built around the 11th century.
