Origin and history

The fountain-wash of the château de Bourogne, located in the commune of the same name in Burgundy-Franche-Comté, dates from the 2nd quarter of the 19th century. This monument, classified among historical buildings, reflects the practical needs of the time, combining a drinking water source and a space dedicated to washing linen, essential in the daily lives of the inhabitants. Its integration into the public domain and its inclusion in the 1980 inventory of Historic Monuments underline its heritage and architectural importance.

The construction of this wash fountain is attributed to Constant Tisserand, the architect identified in the archives. Owned by the commune of Bourogne, it is distinguished by its location near the castle, although its precise cadastre is not documented. The approximate location, 24 Rue Basse, and its Insee code (90017) links it to the Territory of Belfort, in the former Franche-Comté region. This type of work, during the 19th century, met the challenges of public hygiene and rural sociability, while marking the landscape with a functional architecture.

The inscription by decree of 6 November 1980 specifically protects the so-called fountain-wash of the castle, without further cadastral precision. Available sources, such as the Merimée and Monumentum base, confirm its status as a communal heritage, although details of its historical use or possible transformations remain partial. The location, considered passable (note 5/10), and Street View views suggest partial retention, but there is no indication of its current state or possible restorations.
