Origin and history

La Fontaine du Buet is a historical monument located in the commune of Sacquenay, in Côte-d-Or (region Burgundy-Franche-Comté). Built in the 17th century, it is a typical example of the hydraulic installations of this time, often linked to village water supply or agricultural uses. Its architecture and location reflect the practical and aesthetic needs of the rural communities of the Ancien Régime.

Ranked Historic Monument by order of 26 May 1926, this fountain is today owned by the town of Sacquenay. The fountains of this period played a central role in everyday life: they served as a gathering point, a place of exchange and a vital source for inhabitants and animals. Their preservation demonstrates the importance attached to these infrastructures, both utility and symbolic, in the organisation of rural areas.

Available data, notably from the Merimée database and Monumentum, indicate that the Fountain of Buet is located approximately at 3 Rue de Mal gouvernemente. However, the accuracy of this location is considered poor (note 5/10), which may reflect uncertainties about its exact location or changes in urban tissue over the centuries. No additional information is provided on any characters or events related to its construction or historical use.
