The Bell Tower of the Abbey Saint-Aubin is less old than the adjoining Abbey. It was erected in the 12th century. It dominates the city of Angers from its 54 meters in height. In the middle ages, Saint-Aubin served as a watchtower.

In the first half of the 20th century, it hosts the Museum of industry, then a meteorological observatory.
