Well house 's-Hertogenbosch, Well house replica in 's-Hertogenbosch Market Square, Netherlands.

The wooden well house features traditional Dutch architectural elements, including decorative carvings and a peaked roof above a water source.

Archaeological investigations in 1977 revealed a 15th-century water well foundation with an intact shaft, leading to discussions about reconstructing the structure.

The design draws inspiration from a 1530 painting titled 'De Lakenmarkt' displayed at the Noordbrabants Museum, depicting similar medieval structures.

The current well house, completed in February 2016, stands at the intersection of three important city locations alongside the Dragon Fountain and St. John's Cathedral.

The reconstruction project generated local debates due to its 400,000 euro cost and architectural design choices before its final approval.
