The Sainte-Hune fountain is part of the history of the village of Hunawihr. As early as the 7th century, it is said that Huna, the wife of Hunon, who lived in a Gallo-Roman villa on the current site of the church, took care of the linen for the needy at the fountain.
A legend says that in a year of poor harvests, Huna would have turned the water of the fountain into wine. She was canonized in 1520 by Pope Leo X as "Saint Lavandière," at the request of Duke Ulrich of Württemberg.
The upper part of the pillar of the fountain bears the date 1656. The adjacent washhouse dates from the early 20th century.
The fountain was a source of drinking water for the residents. It was the meeting place for the laundresses and winemakers.
