Origin and history

The Crémieu Fountain is a historical monument located in the commune of Crémieu, Isère (38), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. Built in the 18th century, it is precisely on Rue Notre-Dame-de-Reclus, according to data from the Merimée database. The monument was inscribed by ministerial decree on 31 December 1980, which reflects its heritage value recognized by the authorities.

The location of this fountain is estimated to be "passible" (note 5/10) according to geographical accuracy criteria. It belongs to the public domain and is owned by the municipality of Crémieu. Although no information specifies its current use (visit, rental, etc.), its status as a protected monument suggests local historical or architectural significance. Available sources, such as Monumentum, confirm its inscription but do not provide details of its history or possible restorations.

The fountain, like many 18th-century public works, could play a central role in the daily lives of the inhabitants. At that time, fountains often served as a water supply, meeting place or symbol of prestige for cities. Their construction also reflected the technical and aesthetic advances of their time, although the specifics of this monument are not detailed in the sources consulted.
