Fontaine de Longueville (Case D 339): inscription by order of 29 March 1935
Origin and history
La Fountain de Longueville is located at the place known as Longueville, in the commune of Locmalo, in the department of Morbihan in Brittany. Built in the 18th century, it is distinguished by its typical architecture: a stone enclosure, a triangular pediment surmounted by a cross, and two balusters framing the whole. Its rectangular basin is bordered by four massive balusters, with a niche integrated into the background wall.
The fountain was listed as historic monuments on March 29, 1935, recognizing its heritage value. Today it belongs to the municipality of Locmalo. Its architectural style, marked by elements such as the pediment and the balusters, reflects the local stone building traditions of that time.
Available sources, including Wikipedia and Monumentum, highlight its importance in Breton heritage. The fountain is listed in the Mérimée inventory under the code INSEE 56113, confirming its territorial anchoring in the Morbihan. No information is provided on its original use or possible sponsors, but its conservation status and precise location (203 Longueville) are documented.
