Lovise Kilde - Roskilde, Danmark - Natural Springs on Waymarking.com

Lovises Kilde er formodentlig døbt i 1840 af konventualinde ved Roskilde Kloster, Lovise von Wimpffen, der opkaldte kilden efter sig selv. Samtidig blev der lavet en stenmur ved kilden.
Gennem tiden er kilden blevet tørlagt, men efter år var der igen vand. Da stenmuren var forfalden blev der i 1986 etableret en ny udformning af kildens udløb. Kilden blev nu etableret med en stor møllesten som vandet kommer op af.
Møllestenen er doneret af politikeren Knud Tholstrup, der havde foræret Roskilde Kommune en samling af møllesten.



Lovises Spring was probably named in 1840 by the convention clerk at Roskilde Priory, Lovise von Wimpffen, who named the spring after herself. At the same time, a stone wall was made at the spring.
Over time, the spring has been drained, but after years, there were again water. When the stone wall was dilapidated, a new design of the springs outlet was established in 1986. The spring was now established with a large millstone from which the water comes up.
The millstone was donated by the politician Knud Tholstrup, who had donated a collection of millstones to Roskilde Municipality.
