Nicolle Tower is a tower in the parish of St Clement in Jersey. It was built in 1821 for Philippe Nicolle as a hexagonal folly house on the site of an earlier navigation tower on Mont Ubé.[1][2] It is adjacent to the Mont Ubé dolmen.
During the occupation of the Channel Islands the German forces made some modifications to this tower, extending its height with a new top floor, including narrow windows, so that they could use the tower as an observation post. There are other structures near-by, including gun emplacements, and bunkers which were constructed during the occupation.[2]
The tower today
Nicolle Tower is a listed building, restored and owned by the Landmark Trust, and is used as short-let holiday accommodation.[3]
