"This neo-Gothic well on Sint-Jakobsstraat in Bruges was built in 1902 to a design by the Bruges city architect C. De Wulf and manufactured by A. Vernieuwe. In 1900, following a design to change the building line of part of Sint-Jakobsstraat, it was proposed to relocate the old, underground pump made of natural stone. The then city architect C. De Wulf (1865-1904) insisted on installing an above-ground well in this 'picturesque corner'. It is a simple natural stone well, with a lion's head with open mouth on one side. The graceful wrought iron crown consists of four partially twisted uprights, connected at the top by a copper band and by a crown of fine flower and leaf work.
The well was protected as a monument in 2002."
