Origin and history
Robert Marichy's turntable is a wood-filming workshop installed in a farm before 1830, located in Arinthod in the Jura. The building consists of a rectangular workshop with two levels (ground floor and attic) and two rooms adjacent to the ground floor, bordered by an orchard in the east. This site reflects the adaptation of an agricultural structure to a craft activity, typical of the rural economic transformations of the 19th and 20th centuries.
Purchased in 1932 by Raymond Marichy, a wood-turner, the property has not undergone any modifications since then, thus preserving its original organisation and equipment. The workshop is part of a regional context marked by turning: of the 97 similar plants identified in the Jura by the Inventory, none was protected before its registration as a Historic Monument in 2015. This classification covers the entire site, bounded by a cadastral plan (park ZC 83).
The building, located at 7 rue Plan-Pernet (place called "Néglia"), embodies a modest but representative industrial heritage. Its registration responds to a desire to safeguard artisanal know-how related to wood, in a region where this activity has played a major economic role. The location, noted as "a priori satisfactory" (level 6/10), allows to identify the site despite the lack of optimal GPS accuracy.
The absence of previous protections for Jurassian turnings underlines the scarcity of this heritage. The Marichy turning machine, frozen in its condition of 1932, thus offers a material testimony of the methods of production and working life of the inter-war period, a pivotal period for rural industrialization in Franche-Comté.
