The Lavoir was built in the neoclassical style and is characterized by its monumental architecture. It features two large basins flanked by two symmetrical arcaded wings. The central building features a serliana (double round arch), and the facades are decorated with decorative elements such as heads of Neptune and tridents. The entire structure was built on weak foundations, which led to significant damage over time.
