In 1559 the source was first mentioned in the list of springs at Spa drawn up by Gilbert Limborch, but was then first known as the Frayneuse source (French: Source de la Frayneuse ).
In the early 17th century, people began to exploit the source. The water was then collected in a vessel , a barrel (in French: tonnelet ), which is why we now know the source by this name. A small building was also built to protect the source.
In 1930, the Marie-Henriette well, with a daily outflow of 375 m³, could no longer meet the needs of the thermal baths of Spa and the 65 m³ of the Wellington source was added. The spring water from both sources has since been transported together to the baths via a pipeline . Due to a growing need for spring water, that volume also turned out to be too limited a few years later and the spring water of Tonneletbron was also added. Because the three sources come from the same aquifer , the sources have the same quality of spring water.
The source complex consists of a restaurant with a separate building in front of the source , both of which are built in the same style. The source building is a free-standing roundabout made of metal and glass. In the middle of this comes the spring water from a cast iron "pump". The adjacent restaurant is on an elevation (relative to the source building) and consists of another three roundabouts around a central building section with an extension at the rear.
