Beautiful Fountain, Renaissance water well in Nysa, Poland
The Beautiful Fountain features a marble casing with intricate iron latticework, rising over 5 meters high with a diameter of 186 centimeters.
Wilhelm Helleweg, master locksmith at the bishop's court, constructed the iron grating in 1686 under the commission of Mayor Kaspar Naas.
The fountain's decorative elements include plant motifs, animal figures, and marine characters, crowned by a gilded double-headed Habsburg eagle.
The well reaches a depth of 7 meters, with 2 meters extending into the water table, and contains one of the earliest water pumps in Silesia.
During World War II, authorities concealed the iron grating within Nysa fortifications to protect it from Allied air raids.
