Les Trois Fontaines, Historic fountain in Noyal-Pontivy, France

The site features two granite fountains with Ionic pilasters, including a monumental structure containing two basins on the eastern side of the enclosure.

The main fountain dates back to 1600, as evidenced by a partially legible inscription that reads 'S : NOYAL CETE FONTAINE A ETE 1600'.

The fountains are connected to the legend of Saint Noyale, whose martyrdom led to three springs emerging from drops of blood from her neck.

The location includes stone steps, retaining walls, and a washhouse situated twenty meters south of the main fountain structure.

A smaller fountain on the south side displays an undeciphered monogram marked 'H.R.M.', while the main structure contains niches that formerly held religious statues.
