The historic well from the 19th century located in the center of Kazimierz market is one of its most important and recognizable symbols. Initially, it served as a street source, at the end of the 19th century it was equipped with a hand pump. Its current appearance is the result of work from 1913 under the supervision of architect Jan Koszczyc-Witkiewicz (wooden casing and roof).

The water from the well is drinkable, and legend has it that whoever drinks from it will constantly return to Kazimierz.

The historic well in the Market Square in Kazimierz Dolny is one of the most recognizable symbols of the city. It was built in the 19th century as a street fountain, and in 1913 the architect Jan Koszczyc-Witkiewicz gave it its current appearance - a wooden casing with a characteristic roof and a pazdur. In later years, the well was modernized: an Abyssinian pump was installed, and in the 1980s a new cast iron pump and lighting. The last renovation was carried out in 2012.

According to local legend, whoever drinks water from the well will always return to Kazimierz. The water is suitable for drinking and washing fruit bought at the local market. Similar wells are also located in the corner of the Market Square, on Krakowska and Lubelska streets.
