The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Lavoir du début du 19e siècle constitué d'une halle couverte d'une voûte en berceau sur laquelle repose directement le toit de laves, type de construction qui le rattache aux chapelles et oratoires du plateau du Jura. Les bassins et le sol ont été reconstruits en béton en 1940, mais il a conservé son toit de laves. Vers 1980, la couverture du ruisseau a été poursuivie jusqu'au lavoir. Cet ensemble relève d'un type courant de la première génération des adductions d'eau villageoises à l'époque.

Wash house from the early 19th century consisting of a covered hall with a barrel vault on which the slate roof rests directly, a type of construction that links it to the chapels and oratories of the Jura plateau. The basins and floor were rebuilt in concrete in 1940, but it retained its slate roof. Around 1980, the covering of the stream was extended as far as the wash house. This ensemble is representative of a common type from the first generation of village water supplies of the period.
