Situated on a high hill in the beautiful countryside, this tower offers a glimpse into the past when watchtowers such as these dominated small villages. From this one situated outside Murist, across to its neighbour of St-Martin du Chęne, the tower network communicated with those of Gourze and St-Triphon. This way of communication lasted for centuries. From the top of the Moličre tower there is a pleasant view of the Swiss plateau and the Jura mountain chain. During the Middle Ages an entire village was located around the base. Today, only the tower remains.
