Fontaine Saint-Roch and its enclosure (Box A 615): inscription by order of 30 June 1933
Origin and history
The Saint-Roch Fountain is a small granite edicle located in Lanvaudan, Morbihan, England. Built in the 1st quarter of the 19th century, it consists of a background wall, two columnettes with arcades, and one entably topped with wingers and a wrought iron cross. A support wall frames the spring, rectangular at the front and semicircular around.
The fountain and its enclosure were listed as historical monuments by order of 30 June 1933. This type of monument, typical of Breton fountains, often served as a place of devotion or communal water, reflecting the importance of sources in the daily and religious life of local people.
The available data also mention possible confusion with the Notre-Dame fountain, located in the village of Lanvaudan, but the sources clearly specify the inscription of the Saint-Roch fountain. Its sober granite architecture and its wrought iron cross illustrate the local traditions of construction and religious symbolism of the time.
