Origin and history

Thoraise Farm, dated from the 2nd quarter of the 18th century, is a representative example of traditional farm bodies dedicated to polyculture in the Besançon region. Its spatial organization reflects a functional design: a square building divided into three spans, housing the dwelling, a barn alley and a stable. A vaulted base in a cradle, perpendicular to the droplets, compensates for the slope of the ground, while a large volume of barns dominates the whole. A shed and a barn complete the structure in return of angle, illustrating the adaptation to local agricultural needs.

Classified Historic Monument by decree of 27 March 2009, this farm embodies the architectural and agricultural practices of Burgundy-Franche-Comté in the Enlightenment century. Its protection concerns the entire site (cadastre C 50), stressing its heritage importance. The location, at 20 road from Besançon, and its state of conservation make it a tangible testimony of the polycultural farms that structured the rural landscape around Besançon, between breeding, cereal crops and community life.

The available sources, including Monumentum, highlight its characteristic plan: an alliance between habitat, storage areas and animal dependencies, optimized for a family farm. The accuracy of its location is estimated to be fair (note 5/10), and its official address corresponds to current GPS coordinates. No information is provided on its accessibility to the public or on any reassignment (guest rooms, visits).
