Skyscraper in Amiens

Residential and office building located at Amiens, in the Somme, the Perret Tower is visible tens of kilometers around the city, constituting its main landmark. Conceived by the architect Auguste Perret in 1948, it recalls in its architecture the first American buildings while perpetuating the tradition of the belfries of the north of France.

Long considered the highest skyscraper in Europe, it stands 110 meters high and is spread over twenty-five floors for a total area of ​​40,000 m². The building is based on eighteen concrete wells sunk to about ten meters deep.
