Revel washhouse
Highlight • Structure
Château de Revel: Located on a hill overlooking the plain of Valloire, the Château der Revel is mentioned at the end of the 11th century.
In 1402, Master Jacques de Beaujeu, master builder of the Dauphins, reported major repairs to be carried out on the large tower of the castle, probably the keep, as well as the small tower and its prison, called ratier.
Fearing that they would serve as a fortified point for unscrupulous people, the towers and hovels of the castle were demolished in 1623. Only the base of a circular tower is preserved, probably the small tower, from which two perpendicular walls emerge.

The construction of washhouses was usually financed from the respective municipal coffers, as the washerwomen's often overly open and promiscuous behavior was to be discouraged or at least hidden behind walls and low-hanging roofs.
(According to the opinion of ecclesiastical and governmental authorities, from whom else?)
The history of covered washhouses, according to current knowledge, dates back to the 18th century. In the Middle Ages and the early modern period, women washed their laundry on stones by streams or rivers. In the wake of the Industrial Revolution and the associated pollution, covered structures began to appear in large numbers towards the end of the 18th century. This was also intended to reduce the risk of epidemics.
