If you are in Kutna hora, then you have to see it. It is very nice but only if you are visiting the bones chappel or St Barbara's church

I have nothing new to write. Other reviews already cover it nicely. While walking around in Kutna Hora, I saw it. Snapped a picture and that's it. I just want to suggest that for travel planning it is a much better idea to first go to the city-center of Kutna Hora to visit this and nearby sites, and then cover... More

This is in the centre of the town, so easy to find and not really out of the way. It was interesting, but doesn't take too long to walk around it - not worth a special trip, but go and see it if in the area, plus there are many more great sights in Kutna Hora!

...nothing spectacular but was on the way to silver mines and St. Barbara. Takes only a couple of minutes to check. Fountain not working but the carvings are beautiful but not well maintained - wonder why?

Take the 2-minute detour from town to see - nice carvings. No water was coming from fountain, but a quick stop.

This fountain had something to do with drinking water storage during mining era. We stopped here briefly during our walking tour of Kutna Hora. Its beautiful. I saw some people drinking water but am not sure if it is safe.

Definately an impressive sight, and worth seeing if you are in the area. Note that the fountain is not operating (at least not at the time of our visit), and is not the structure you would expect to see. It is a high walled circular structure with no interior view, but impressive nonetheless. If you are visiting other sights, such... More

An ostentatious historical monument one would not miss as you walk around the Kutna Hora City. Its not surprising that the city is in the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage List. Really lots to know about and to see in Kutna Hora. My eyes were glued to this water reservoir constructed of stone and looks like a late 14th century type... More

Easy to view this non-working fountain from 1497 while on a walking tour of Kutna Hora. Very large with intricate decorative stone work.

This fountain dating back from 15th century and displaying a strong example of late gothic architecture is nice but that's it. It really would be a waste of time to change your program or initerary just to see it unless you are really curious and/or personally interested in gothic architecture. The city is so small that, you would anyhow run... More
