Gothic Stone Fountain, Gothic fountain in Rejsek Square, Czech Republic

The Gothic Stone Fountain in Rejsek Square is a twelve-sided structure made of carved stone blocks with Gothic details and considerable height. The careful stonework and pointed arches are characteristic features of this medieval construction.

The fountain was built in 1495 to address water shortages during the silver mining era when the city was growing rapidly. A pipe system brought water from a distant source into the town center.

The fountain shows how medieval craftsmen in this mining town combined practical solutions with beautiful design. You can see from its shape and craftsmanship how important clean water was to daily life for people here.

The fountain stands freely in the square and is accessible from all sides, making it easy to admire the details. Water flows during summer, but it remains dry in the colder months.

Originally the fountain had a roof that protected the water and formed part of the structure. This protective design was crucial to keeping the water clean in the harsh medieval town environment.
