Gloriette kút, Eclectic architectural fountain in Széchenyi Hill, Hungary.
The Gloriette kút stands as a hexagonal terrace with a balustrade, rising 2.5 meters high and featuring a central flagpole reaching 24 meters.
Originally built at Heroes Square in 1884 by architect Miklós Ybl, the fountain was relocated to Széchenyi Hill in 1898 due to the Millennium Monument construction.
The structure represents late 19th century Hungarian engineering, commemorating the discovery of thermal waters that contributed to Budapest's bath culture.
The fountain marks the location of a thermal source that produced 831 liters per minute at 74 degrees Celsius, enabling the establishment of City Park's artesian baths.
The drilling reached 970 meters deep, making it one of Europe's deepest wells in the 1870s, engineered by Vilmos Zsigmondy.
