The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Cette fontaine, reconstruite, a primitivement été établie par l'intendant général Jacques de Beaune-Semblançay, dont les armoiries sont encore sculptées dans un bas-relief en pierre. L'ouvrage de forme pyramidale, surmonté d'un motif en pierre, recoît l'eau d'une source dont l'origine est dans le rocher qui supporte le donjon. La fontaine s'adosse à un mur sur la partie droite duquel se trouve un bas-relief représentant l'écusson. La pyramide de pierre recouvre le bassin qui reçoit l'eau.

History
This fountain, rebuilt, was originally established by the general intendant Jacques de Beaune-Semblançay, whose arms are still sculpted in a stone bas-relief. The work of pyramidal form, surmounted by a stone motif, receives the water from a spring whose origin is in the rock which supports the keep. The fountain is set against a wall on the right part of which is found a bas-relief representing the escutcheon. The stone pyramid covers the basin which receives the water.
