[EN] This well was dug in the fifteenth century by the Knights of St. Jean de Jerusalem. It was restored in 1689 and was filled in 1805.
The well is open. A grid was placed on top of the hole to prevent any fall.
We can see a Latin inscription around the edge of the well and the date of restoration.

On peut voir une inscription latine qui fait le tour de la margelle et la date de restauration du puits.
