Neuchâtel Jura farmhouse (17th c.)

Admire the facade some more before getting in. Look at the wooden gutters that channel rainwater to the 5000-litre cistern you see on the left, rebuilt as it was in the 18th century. A cistern was essential in the Upper Jura, with limestone soil where water infiltrated too quickly, creating only meagre streams.

Abstract

Admire the facade some more before getting in. Look at the wooden gutters that channel rainwater to the 5000-litre cistern you see on the left, rebuilt as it was in the 18th century. A cistern was essential in the Upper Jura, with limestone soil where water infiltrated too quickly, creating only meagre streams.
