The Lechouritis Tower is a fortified post-Byzantine house, which belonged to the chieftain of the Revolution, Georgios Lechouritis. It is located in the village of Lechouri, 43 km southwest of Kalavrita.

Half of this historic tower was built between 1740 and 1760 (when Anagnostis Lechouritis was appointed lord of the 32 villages of the Erymanthia region) and the rest between 1785 and 1790 (when his grandson Anagnostis, a fighter of 1821, was again appointed lord, together with his four sons).

The tower of Lechuritis had a hidden underground passage to its then annex - today's house of N. Sakellaropoulos (the passage is still visible). The tower has known great glories, hosted in its halls great figures of 1821, while the Turkish commander of Kalavrita, Ibrahim Arnautoglou, was imprisoned here after the liberation of the city on 21 March 1821. This great national monument was visited in 1840 by the first Kings of Greece, Otto and Amalia, in order to meet and honour Captain George Lechouritis. In 1829, George Lechouritis married Veneta, the niece of Theodore Kolokotronis, as he had won the esteem of the famous chieftain because of his heroism and education.

The tower remained closed for a few years after the epidemic of 1854, and then it was sold in 1905 to his father George Poretsanos by Giannos, son of George Lechouritis (and mayor for many years in Kato Achaia). Lechouri owes a lot to George Porechano, because as a writer and author he preserved many historical elements of the village. He recorded them. The tower, which now belongs to his daughter, Mrs. Eleni Poretsanou, was completely renovated in 1990 and is preserved in very good condition. In fact, a part of the tower now houses a Historical and Folklore Museum, while every year, in its courtyard, cultural events and lectures are held.
