The Lavoir-fountain of the castle of Bourogne (built 1847) is a fountain covered with a squeezer surmounted by four arcades supporting a pavilion roof. The sump is most often filled with pebbles and sand, which serve to retain rainwater. The arches are surmounted by a pilaster and an entablature of Tuscan style. The fountain has multiple uses: one part is reserved for human consumption, another for livestock with a watering place, and finally, a wash and a rinse complete this set. All these parts are carefully separated to prevent the spread of diseases and diseases. epidemics.

Architect: Weaver. Stone and pink sandstone.

The 16th century Renaissance castle is still inhabited by the Valbert family before the first World War. His maintenance becoming too expensive, it is left abandoned by its owners. It is then used as a quarry, the majority of the stones being used by the builders of the houses of the village. Only the cellar remains, where the owner stored beets in the 1950s. Ornament which adorned a corner tower still visible today.
