Fountain with its basin, at the foot of the castle (Box ZK 43): inscription by decree of 31 December 1979

Origin and history

La Fontaine-Lavoir de la Platière is a building located in the commune of Mutigney, in the department of Jura (39), in the region Bourgogne-Franche-Comté. This monument, classified among the Historical Monuments, consists of a fountain with its basin, located at the foot of the castle. Its listing in the inventory of Historical Monuments dates from 31 December 1979, by official decree.

The property belongs to the commune of Mutigney, and its exact address is 7 Rue Saint-Supplet. The knowledge fountains were essential infrastructure in French villages, especially before the arrival of running water in the homes. They served as both a drinking water point, a washing place and a social place for the inhabitants, often women.

In rural areas such as Jura, these buildings played a central role in everyday life, facilitating domestic work and strengthening community ties. Their architecture, often simple and functional, reflected the practical needs of local populations.
