Origin and history

The Jarnages well is a monument located in the commune of Jarnages in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. Although its exact period of construction is not specified, it is an element of the architectural and historical heritage of this locality. This type of structure, often linked to water supply, played an essential role in the daily lives of the inhabitants, especially before the arrival of modern distribution networks.

Their presence reflects the community organization and the practical needs of local people throughout the centuries.
