Kallebäcks källa, Spring and architectural complex in Gothenburg, Sweden

The Kallebäcks källa features a stone building covering the spring, accompanied by a monument and a water post connected to the municipal water system.

The water source received official recognition in 1787 when King Gustav III inaugurated the spring and drank from its waters during a formal ceremony.

The spring formed an essential part of Gothenburg's early water infrastructure, leading to the creation of a 4.8-kilometer pipeline system into the city center.

The spring water remains inaccessible to visitors, while the current water post at the site distributes water from the regular municipal network.

The site includes a commemorative monument made of Kolmården marble, erected in 1801 near the spring house.
