The Tour du Dôme is a belfry in Wassy , a French commune in the Haute-Marne department in the Grand Est region , built in 1748. The tower, which has been protected as a monument historique since 1933, is located in the center of the village on Rue Notre-Dame .
In 1773 the tower, made of stone , was raised and covered with a kind of dome (French: dôme) on which a ridge turret with bells sits. A roof knob with a weather vane forms the end . The clock was attached later.
On the west side there is a round arch niche in which there is a sculpture of a crowned Madonna and Child. The entrance to the tower is on the south side. Today the office de tourisme (tourist information) is housed in the tower .
