Fontaine de la Croix-de-Pierre, Gothic fountain in central Rouen, France.
The Fontaine de la Croix-de-Pierre rises 10 meters high at the intersection of Rue Saint-Vivien and Rue Saint-Hilaire in central Rouen.
The initial fountain from 1517 experienced multiple reconstructions, with the current structure dating from 1872 by architect Jacques-Eugene Barthelemy.
The fountain represents medieval French craftsmanship with intricate Gothic details and religious symbolism reflected in its architectural elements.
Visitors can locate this stone fountain near the Museum of Antiquities, where the original structure resides in the Andre-Maurois garden.
This fountain remains the sole medieval water source in Rouen maintaining its original Gothic design through centuries of social changes.
