Rising from the Forest of Fontainebleau in Seine-et-Marne, the Denecourt Tower is a neo-medieval observation tower constructed in 1851 by Claude-François Denecourt, who designed the structure as part of his landscape improvements to the forest. Built in the romantic style of its era, the tower offers elevated views across the woodland landscape and remains a distinctive landmark within Fontainebleau's carefully curated natural environment.
