Tour de la Liberté (Saint-Dié-des-Vosges)

The Tour de la Liberté, located at 5 Place Jules Ferry in Saint-Dié-des-Vosges, France, was designed by architects Nicolas Normier and Jean-Marie Hennin, with structural engineering by Peter Rice. Erected in 1989 to commemorate the bicentennial of the French Revolution, the tower was initially installed in Paris's Jardin des Tuileries before being relocated to its current site in 1990. The structure stands approximately 36 meters tall, with a wingspan of 32 meters, and is constructed primarily of steel, fabric, and glass. It features two exhibition halls and an observation deck, offering panoramic views of the surrounding area. In April 2026, the tower was recognized as "Architecture contemporaine remarquable," a label acknowledging its innovative design and significance. (saint-die-des-vosges.fr)
