The House of the Water Spring - The House of the Water Spring

In the square named after Bishop St. Gellért is the vomited St. Gellért Spring House with the Zsolnay drinking well. It was built in 2003 without a permit (?) And was therefore doomed to demolition. After a four-month discussion, the Source House in Szent Gellért Square, received the ownership consent and survival permit of the Town Planning and Cityscape Protection Committee of the Town Hall. The pavilion stands on eight blocks of limestone and follows the arch of the dome of St. Gellert's Hotel. The eight corners of the pavilion symbolize the eight most important spas in Budapest, Gellért, Rudas, Rác, Király, Császár, Lukács, Széchenyi and Pesterzsébet. Tap water is currently flowing from the ceramic well of Sándor Dobány, Zsolnay, but originally it could have been drunk from the medicinal water of eight springs. On the floor you can read Hun and medieval motifs, on the dome of the dome you can read poems by Sándor Weöres Sándor Weöres: A song about the boundless When I was nobody, light, pure light, in serpentine streams I often slept. That I almost became someone stone, rough stone, on a slope ice-veined rolled high force. And finally I turned out to live, flame, flame flame, in boundless space across I show our real country.

A place of special light effects with the shape of a pierced dome. The turquoise drinking fountain is closed in winter and does not flow. It needs cleaning. Around Budapest with the most important spa names and symbols. Nice place.

It used to be a clean, cultured, quiet place (yes, even in the middle of the square) - today it is unfortunately full of pipes, dirty, only part of the drinking fountain is in operation. I took note sadly ...

I love-place ... I spent my youth at the Szkéné Theater next door as a member of the Arvisura Theater.

The Zsolnay drinking well is a well-designed structure that fits into its surroundings. In summer, tourists can quench their thirst in the heat
