The pigeon tower (French colombier or pigeonnier ) in La Tour-Blanche , a district of the French commune of La Tour-Blanche-Cercles in the Dordogne department in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region , was built in the 17th century.

The round pigeon tower with stone masonry has a roof with flat tiles. Two dormer windows with triangular gables provided access for the pigeons. A false ceiling was installed in the pigeon tower to use the structure as a granary.
