The Ormois fountain was built in 1780 by Anatole Amoudru, one of the most productive and influential Comtois architects of his time. Long forgotten, since buried under piles of earth, the fountain was excavated in 1988! Laid out at the foot of a spring, it is made up of a small aedicule and 2 oval basins: the drinking trough and the washhouse. These elements are surrounded by a radiant paving and interconnected by channels pouring water according to the principle of communicating vessels.
