"Built between 1735 and 1737; with a sandstone vaulted roof built to withstand being fired upon; a roof of granite and pounded cement resting on steel girders was introduced in 1881 to protect the well. The well itself: sunk between 1563 and 1569; 152.5 m deep; water hauled with a horse gin originally, later with a treadmill, from 1871 with a steam engine, from 1912 with an electric motor, and closed down in 1967, since 1998 operational again"
