Origin and history
La Vie du Lac Farm, located in Lamoura (Jura), is an 18th-century agricultural building. It is distinguished by its traditional architecture, with a rectangular main building topped by a half-croup roof and stables located to the north. Two attic-forts, built in 1708 and 1786, complete the whole. These rectangular, two-sided roofed edicles were designed to house food and valuables, reflecting the security and storage needs of the era.
The farm's attices illustrate a local construction technique: they have a vaulted cradle cellar and an upper room entirely made of wood, without a frame. Their double doors, equipped with locks, reinforce their defensive function. The first attic, dated 1708, preceded by nearly 80 years the second, erected in 1786. These elements, as well as the facades and roofs of the farm, were protected by a registration order under the Historic Monuments on 1 June 2011.
The layout of the buildings, with the attic-forts to the south and the stables to the north, follows a functional organization typical of the 18th century Jurassian farms. The site, although partially localized (estimated at 6/10), remains an architectural and historical testimony of agricultural practices and preservation of property in the Franche-Comté region at that time.
