Anspach Fountain

Bruxelles - Brussel, Italy

The Anspach Fountain (French: Fontaine Anspach; Dutch: Anspachfontein) is an eclectic-style fountain-obelisk erected between 1895 and 1897 in the centre of the Place de Brouckère/De Brouckèreplein in Brussels, Belgium. Designed by the architect Charles-Émile Janlet, it is dedicated to the memory of

Jules Anspach, a former mayor of the City of Brussels. The monument was dismantled in 1973 following construction work on the Brussels Metro. It was reinstalled in 1981 in its current location on the Square des Blindés/Pantsertroepensquare, between the Quai aux Briques/Baksteenkaai and the Quai au Bois à Brûler/Brandhoutkaai, in the Quays or Sainte-Catherine/Sint-Katelijne Quarter.
