Wash house in Bourg

The wash house (French: lavoir ) in Bourg , a French commune in the Gironde department in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region , was built in 1868. The wash house on Rue du Chenal was used until the 1990s.

The rectangular structure made of sandstone masonry is structured on all sides by pillars on which the wooden structure of the hipped roof rests. There are two entrances on the narrow sides. Semicircular windows on all four sides allow the washerwomen to work in daylight.
