Városkút Spring, Natural spring in Buda district, Hungary

Városkút Spring is a spring in the 12th district of Budapest, between Svábhegy and Istenhegy, at the start of Béla király út in Devecseri Gábor Park. Two structures stand on the site: a Gothic-style upper spring house above the spring capture, and a reconstruction of the 18th-century lower well house above the former collecting basin. The spring yields 24 litres per minute at 355 metres above sea level.

In the 15th century, a water system was built to carry spring water to Buda Castle, representing an important engineering achievement. This network played a key role in supplying the royal residence and showed early urban planning in the city.

The name Város-kút ("city well") spread after 1890, when the cog railway opened a stop called Városkút nearby. Earlier names record its users: Doktor-kút or Orvos-kút after the physician Eberhardt von Everling, who rediscovered the spring, and Nádor-kút from 1847 after Palatine Joseph, who had drinking water carried from here. The lower well house now gives piped drinking water.

The spring sits at an elevation of about 355 meters and can be reached through Devecseri Gábor Park in the 12th district. The walk to reach it is straightforward, and the surrounding area offers several paths for exploring the hillside.

In 1849, during the siege of Buda, Artúr Görgey had the Nádor-kút's pipes cut to deprive the defending imperial troops of drinking water. The spring had been renamed Nádor-kút in 1847 after Palatine Joseph, who had water carried directly from here.
