Well of a Bamberg Woman
The stone water well standing between the Weigh-house and the Town Hall is adorned with a statue of a Bamberg woman. The statue was made by Josef Wackerle in 1915 and modelled after Józefa Gadymska from Winiary, one of the Bamberg settlers. The well had been relocated several times: it stood in front of the merchant houses, near the west wall of the town hall in the years 1929-45, in Mostowa Street since 1964. It was again placed in the Old Market Square in 1977.

Hygieia water well
Edward Raczyński financed the construction of waterworks in the city and in 1841 he placed a water well at the junction of Marcinkowskiego Avenue and 23 Lutego Street and embellished its pedestal with a medallion depicting Vincent Priessnitz, the propagator of hydrotherapy. When the well was moved to the opposite side of the avenue (at the junction with Podgórna Street) in 1908, it was adorned with the statue of Hygieia, the Greek goddess of health. The statue was designed by Albert Wolf. In 1971 the well was placed in Wolności Square in front of the Raczyński Library.
