A pretty water tower from the end of the 19th century.
"The Saussy Tower (or BREDIN Tower) is the last vestige of an original and complex water supply system intended to supply the village and a castle. Built in 1876/1878, this building is the only castle in water from France whose pump was powered by a wind turbine! It was the engineer Paul BREDIN, who imagined and financed the construction of this astonishing machinery; he had made his fortune in the silk industry and had settled in Saussy .
