The structure displays typical architectural characteristics of its period, with ornamental details that reflect the craftsmanship of stonemasons and builders from that era.
Jordanova kašna dates from 1368, when it was built as a stone fountain on Třeboň's market square. Its top section carries reliefs of the Rožmberk red rose with dates, the emblem of the noble family that dominated the town. The fountain is recorded as a cultural monument of the Czech Republic.
The fountain was built to serve the town's water needs while showcasing the craftsmanship of its era. Such public structures were gathering places where people met and where practical purpose blended with artistic skill.

The top of the central column is a four-sided pyramid carved with the Rosenberg red rose and dates, a detail most visitors miss while looking at the basin. The rectangular panels around the base carry circular reliefs of classical heads on their outer faces.
