Maxmiliánův vodovod, Classical water system in Kroměříž, Czech Republic.

The square-shaped structure features a fountain with continuously flowing water and a pediment wall oriented towards Kroměříž Castle and Mill Gate.

Bishop Maxmilian Joseph Sommerau-Beckh commissioned this water system in 1838 to supply water from springs on Barbořina Hill to Kroměříž.

The cast iron coat of arms of Bishop Maxmilian Joseph adorns the center of the pediment, with a Latin inscription beneath the cornice.

The water from the fountain is currently classified for utility purposes rather than drinking, with the structure maintaining its original water distribution function.

The water system represents early 19th-century engineering methods, designed by architect Anton Arche to replace the previous water tower in Štěchovice.
