Description

This octagonal basin from before 1950 consists of 8 bluestone elements held together by an iron buckle. The border stone is rounded.

The inside is sealed with a layer of cement. Previously, the fountain was fed by runoff water through a cast iron spillway at its widest point. Until the end of the 1960s, the fountain was fed by a cast iron hydrant with a narrow body. There is a grate on the ground that covers a manhole. On the reservoir side, two old and original mounting rings protrude into two horizontal bars built into the gray stone and fix the grille into the concrete floor.

This fountain was used to provide drinking water to the villagers.
