Skt. Hans Kilde er en ud af tre hellige kilder der findes i Roskilde bymidte. Det var en kilde med helbredende virkning tæt ved den tidligere Skt. Hans Kirke.
Ved Skt. Hans Kilde er der fundet mange potteskår som stammer fra de drikkekrus der blev brugt ved kilden. Man skulle drikke af et helt nyt krus, når man havde drukket vandet skulle man slå kruset i stykker så andre mennesker ikke blev smittet af sygdom.
På Nationalmuseet findes potteskår fra 1300 tallet som stammer fra Skt. Hans Kilde.
I 1832 omtale kilden som en brønd indhegnet med egeplanker, og at der ikke var så meget vand.
I 1834 blev kilden udformet med et nyt kildeudløb - en stensat væg med en niche hvor vandet løber ud af en lille tud. Et lille jerngitter blev sat op ved kilden sammen med en træbænk.
Skt. Hans spring is one of three holy wells found in Roskilde city center. It was a spring of healing effect close to the former Skt. Hans Church.
At Skt. Hans Holy Well, many pottery fragments have been found that originate from the drinking mugs that were used at the spring. You had to drink from a brand new mug, once you had drunk the water you had to break the mug so that other people were not infected by disease.
At the National Museum there are pottery fragments from the 14th century which originate from Skt. Hans Holy Well.
In 1832 the spring was mentioned as a well fenced with oak planks and that there was not much water.
In 1834, the spring was designed with a new spring outlet - a stone wall with a niche where the water runs out of a small spout. A small iron lattice was set up at the spring along with a wooden bench.
