The Roue Pouguet is a historic water wheel in Ornans, France, designed by Étienne Joseph Pouguet in the 19th century. This ingenious system adapted to variations in river flow without hindering navigation or timber floating. It was a revolutionary improvement for millers and is now cherished as a rare industrial heritage

The church has a characteristic architecture with three arches in the form of a basket arch. The tower-clocher retains a base with Romanesque influences from the 12th century. The building has been classified as a historical monument since 1931. Inside the Église Saint-Laurent you will find an elegant vaulted structure and beautiful furniture, including an impressive statue of Christ attributed to the Italian sculptor Le Bernin (1598-1680).

The Hôtel de Ville d’Ornans has been located since 1825 in part of a large building that was once the old courthouse of the bailiwick of Ornans in 1422. The former bailiwick was rebuilt in 1740. This imposing building spans the sidewalk with double arches overlooking the Rue Pierre Vernier. If you visit Ornans, this historic building is definitely worth a look! 🏛️🇫🇷
