Well of Vyšehrad - Prague 2-Vyšehrad

macedonboy

This is the old medieval well in Vysehrad, literally. It’s just a well with a canopy over it. This isn’t really much to see and if it weren't listed I doubt I'd even have noticed it. There are far more important and interesting things to see in Vysehrad.

Can you believe someone took the time out of their day to rate this well 2 stars? I expected to see a well, and I saw a well. I got exactly what I wanted. 5 stars.

Zdroje vody byly na hradištích, hradech a v pevnostech vždy to nejdůležitější. Na Vyšehradě najdete dokonce dvě. Stará studna s krytím a zbytky čerpacího mechanismu stojí v nejzápadnější části Vyšehradských sadů, poblíž zbytků základového zdiva palácové stavby z 11 - 13. století. Plocha Vyšehradských sadů je totiž prostorem bývalé knížecí a královské akropole. Studna je v relativně zachovalém stavu, nepodařilo se mi však o ní dohledat relevantní historické informace. Druhou novogotickou studnu v areálu Vyšehradu najdete v nedalekých Karlachových sadech. Lidově se jí říká kaplička, nejen podle tvaru, ale údajně v těchto místech kdysi kaple stávala. Podle pověstí jsou v jejím ostění blízko nad vodou pohyblivé kameny, které je možno vysunout. Za nimi je prý skalní chodba, kteráž vede do nitra vyšehradské skály do podzemních sálů, kde uloženy jsou vyšehradské poklady.

Sources of water have always been the most important elements in the fortifications, castles and fortresses. There are even two at Vyšehrad. An old well with cover and remnants of the pumping mechanism stands in the westernmost part of the Vyšehrad Park, near the remains of the foundation masonry of the palace building from the 11th - 13th centuries. The area of the Vyšehrad Orchards is the space of the former princely and royal acropolis. The well is in a relatively well-preserved state, but I could not find any further relevant historical informations about it. The second Neo-Gothic well in the Vyšehrad area can be found in the nearby Karlach´s Park. Folkly it is called a chapel, not only by its shape, but supposedly once a chapel stood in these places. According to legend, in its lining near the water surface there are moving stones, which can be extended. Behind them is said a rock corridor that leads to the interior of the Vyšehrad rock into the underground halls where the Vyšehrad treasures are stored.
