    Jacob's Fountain, Rorschach
    For centuries, Rorschach has been on the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela, which is why a Jacob's Chapel stood on this spot until 1833. The fountain with the briskly striding pilgrim figure dates from 1895. Today, the Jacob's bell still rings twice a day - at 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. During the summer months, this tradition of ringing is carried out by hand by volunteer bell ringers

    The Jakobsbrunnen is an interesting object in its design. On the pedestal is a man leaning on a walking stick and holding a Bible in the other. A pious wanderer, then, who wants to convey a message. Below him are fish on four sides, but they don't give water. The faucets are placed over four basins. A fountain that is characterized by a very individual touch.
