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.
