Empire style fountain with statue of Amphitrite - sea-goddess and wife of Poseidon - was made by Bohemian sculptor Jan Sucharda and it was installed in eastern part of the main, Valdstejn' square in 1835. Originally it was installed here also a second fountain just with statue of Poseidon - mistakely named Neptun's fountain, but the later fountain was demolished in 1894.
Amphitrite's fountain was renovated in 1974 and in 1990.
