Origin and history

The Farm of Passonfontaine, located in the eponymous village of Burgundy-Franche-Comté, is a building whose origins date back to the sixteenth, seventeenth and nineteenth centuries. This monument, classified by ministerial decree on 24 October 1988, bears witness to the rural architectural evolution over centuries. Its listing in the Inventory of Historic Monuments underlines its heritage importance, especially for its state of conservation considered satisfactory (location note: 8/10).

The protected elements of the farm, referenced under the AB 8 cadastre, include structures characteristic of the farms of the time. The precise location, 2 Rue Saint-Martin in Passonfontaine (Département du Doubs), is documented in the Merimée database, with an address validated by GPS coordinates. Although the sources do not specify its current use (visit, accommodation, etc.), its classification guarantees its preservation as a representative example of the franc-comtois rural heritage.

The Franche-Comté region, to which Passonfontaine belongs, was historically marked by an agro-pastoral economy. Farms like this played a central role in community life, serving both as a place of production, storage and sometimes housing. Their architecture reflected the practical needs (granges, stables) and local materials (stone, wood), adapted to the climate and available resources. The 1988 ranking is part of a desire to safeguard these testimonies of pre-industrial rural life.
