EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the historic charm of Dunkirk, France, with a focus on the iconic Leughenaer Tower. Dating back to 1450, this octagonal tower stands proudly at 30 meters high in the heart of the city, making it the oldest monument in Dunkirk. Constructed by Jacques Desfontaines, the tower overlooks the bustling port and harbor, where small sailing boats fill the water, creating a picturesque scene. The Leughenaer Tower, also known as the Tower of the Winds or the Tower of the Eight Winds, has been a symbol of Dunkirk's rich history for centuries. Its unique octagonal shape and tall stature have made it an enduring landmark, drawing visitors from near and far. The image, taken in the 1910s, showcases the timeless beauty of the harbor and the tower, with the boats gently bobbing in the water, reflecting the clear blue sky above. The peaceful scene belies the tower's storied past, which includes serving as a lookout point for invading forces and a prison during the French Revolution. Dunkirk, located in the Nord-Pas-de-Calais region, has a rich maritime history and is known for its vibrant fishing industry and bustling port. The Leughenaer Tower stands as a testament to the city's past and continues to be a source of pride for its residents and a must-see attraction for visitors.
