Willibrordusput, Medieval well site near White Church in Heiloo, Netherlands.
The Willibrordusput consists of a brick enclosure with a collar, pulley system, fixed cover, and wooden roof next to the oldest church in Kennemerland.
Saint Willibrord established the first parish church beside this spring around 720, and after his death in 739, local veneration began at this site.
The water from this well held significance for pilgrims who believed in its healing properties, particularly for treating illnesses and fevers.
The well underwent restoration in 2010, but remains sealed since 1950 to prevent contamination, making it impossible to draw water from it.
Archaeological research revealed that the well originated from the same ground level as the oldest graveyard associated with an eighth-century wooden church.
