This charming monument, located in front of the church, features an imposing fountain that used to provide the village's inhabitants with a supply of drinking water. The water then flowed into troughs for livestock, placed on either side of the fountain pillar. At the rear, there is also an open-air wash-house, comprising a washing basin and smaller basins used as rinsing basins. In this way, three different functions were brought together, close together but at the same time quite separate, for the sake of hygiene.
Dated 1844.
