The Lourtuais devotional fountain, officially known as the Notre-Dame des Bruyères-des-Coteaux-et-des-Bois fountain, probably dates back to the 18th century. Originally, it consisted of simple stone walls and sandstone slabs. In 1972, the structure was redesigned by local craftsman Jean Barbé, who added a neo-Gothic niche containing a small statue, emphasizing the fountain's religious center. A marble plaque bears the inscription: "Our prayers and our joy ascend to you." The fountain also became famous for providing water even during the drought of the summer of 1976.
