Origin and history

The viaduct of Fin, also located in the commune of Fleurey-sur-Ouche, is an emblematic monument of the 2nd quarter of the 19th century. This viaduct, inscribed in the Historical Monuments by order of 28 December 1984, bears witness to the railway engineering of its time. It is now owned by the State and a public institution, although its access and current use are not specified in available sources.

The location of the viaduct is estimated as "passable" (note 5/10) according to Monumentum data, with an approximate address indicated at Velars-sur-Ouche, near Fleurey-sur-Ouche. This type of work, typical of the 19th century railway infrastructure development, played a key role in connecting territories and transporting goods and passengers. The viaducts of this period often reflect the technical advances and economic needs of the industrial revolution.

Available sources, including Monumentum and Mérimée data, mention that the viaduct is referenced under the code INSEE 21273, in the Côte-d'Or department (21), in the Burgundy-Franche-Comté region. No additional information is provided on architects, engineers or the specific circumstances of its construction. The lack of details of its contemporary use suggests that it could be a historical vestige today rather than an active infrastructure.

The protection of the viaduct as a Historic Monument underlines its heritage importance. Such works, built in the 19th century, were often symbols of modernity and technical progress. Their preservation allows us to understand the evolution of transport networks and their impact on rural areas such as Fleurey-sur-Ouche.

The GPS coordinates and addresses mentioned in the databases suggest a location at the border between Fleurey-sur-Ouche and Velars-sur-Ouche. This geographic location could explain its name, linked to the river or local relief. However, the sources do not specify the exact origin of this name.

Finally, the Creative Commons license associated with François de Dijon's photo indicates that visual representations of the viaduct are accessible, although their analysis is not included in the textual data provided. This makes it possible to consider complementary visual documentation for researchers or industrial heritage enthusiasts.
